Bar-kays is a band that hails from Memphis, Tennessee, 1966. Original

as early as '67 with the legendary Soulfinger-tune. That's when producer
Allen Jones decided to work with the band until his untimely dead
in the late eighties which left the bandmembers devastated. Bad luck
would strike the band also as early as '67 when Otis Redding chose
them for his backing band which caused almost every members death
in the plane crash that also killed Otis. Throughout the '70s and
80's the line up of the band changed many of times and so did their
success. Las musical outing is 48 hours which proved to be a new short-lived
version of the band put together by James Alexander. |
