The shirts, the hair and the pants and of course the gold jacket. If only the music industry woke up and started bringing back originality and not regurgitated bird food.
this is for the haters, the bar kays are fucking legends! one of the greatest funk bands of all time. club nuveo's is in the where are they now files. i was living with the kays when they wrote this song, its original!!! Alan Jones was a god at producing hits, and knew what tempos and sounds of the day to use.
One thing that I know is that the manager at the time Allen Jones was good for copying. He felt that if something is Hot on the radio at the time use some of the same elements of the song and put it right back out there. That's why so many songs sounded like other artist! Freakshow/No Parking
@Shamakah That's right. That was Allen Jones formula to produce hits based on the top 10; however, contrary to popular belief the Barkays cranked out their own formula for their own sound. I've seen you drum live for the Barkays and the United We Funk All Stars. You're one hell of a drummer dude.
damn since unsung on tvone exposed rick james for stealing the lead singers style of the bar kays u see it all the way. rick was a clone, but good he took some of the funk concepts laid down by the bar kays also. not mad but damn rick the entire style.
@paul3fun Here's the thing. This isn't even the album version from Contagious. This version is the remix. Allen Jones passed prior to the release of Contagious and while he produced the majority of the album Don't Hang Up was one of three cuts on the album that was produced by RJ Rice of RJ's Latest Arrival fame. If you listen to the album version of Don't Hang Up it's mild compared to this version which i really don't think sounds like Jealousy.

This Song Is NOT Even Close To Club Nouveau's "Jealousy" !!! It Has The Bar-Kay Beat, Like "Hit And Run" !!! Their Signature Trademark !!!
