Hard to believe they have released 16 albums to that point and I’ve only heard of 2 of their singles.
This will now be my third.
Thanks for the intro, Richie!
I don’t have them on vinyl but, here’s some other tracks of theirs to check out: Freaky Behaviour, She Talks To Me With Her Body (Extended or Album cut), Traffic Jammer, Hit & Run, Do It (Let Me See You Shake), Propositions, Dirty Dancer and Dance, Party, Etc. All are great old school 80′s funk jams. Loved Bar-Kays in the 80s.
Of the lot, I only recall reading about She Talks To Me With Her Body. But will check these out!
