[MrKoolSkool]

Mannnn..I remember back in South Africa in the 80s, my best bud Kev was the only kid on the block getting all the hitz from the USA. Hit and Run was my favourite song for soooo soo long. Can't sit still when I hear this..... Wooooohhhhhhh...!!!...

[FireitupBedford]

I'll never understand why this wasn't a 12 inch single...

[12345BLUEBOY]

THAT'S WHAT FLOYD MYYWEATHER DID''

[jabnhook8r]

@12345BLUEBOY That's all Floyd Mayweather knows how to do!! Can you say "Sugar Ray Leonard"? They are both the same...Fast, Slick, Pretty...and AFRAID to FIGHT!!! After the first fight with Duran, Leonard quickly changed gears. He went from "trying to fight" to "runnin' ray". Mayweather is exactly the same. Why these two get credit for being so great is simply puzzling to me.

[Sparquel1]

Go head BarKays ... do ya thang! I'll always be listenin ;)

[compton483]

classic jam

[ritchie2256]

[ritchie2256]

[makaveli801able]

i heard this shit when i was 17 its still in style once in a while

[13shortypants]

awesome beat

[speakwhnspkn2]

It is ironic that this video comes up on the side when you watch "Get It Up" by The Time. Not trying to start any mess, but the songs are very similar.

[MyJunior1975]

@speakwhnspkn2 Sometimes I wonder about Allen Jones- the producer for the Bar-Kays, because he ripped off A LOT of songs in his day.

[buffet62]

@MyJunior1975 You can rest assured that Mr. Allen Jones is sleeping very well with the fishes for quite awhile. I will forward your respects.

[krwescott]

Now this is funk at its best. The beat is just awesome. Where have you been Barkays? The last time I heard this song was around 1983.  You got me hooked as a fan ever since. Long live the Barkays!

[faith2xxx]

[TheWolfluvr]

classic what more can I say, 5Ward boys did a cover with a lil change up but you just can't beat the classics

[AnnaAnnaYes]

The Bar-Kays were formed out of the fragements of Otis Redding's backing

band,after he died in a airplane crash in 1967

[Schtonken]

Anybody know if these funky basslines are made by synth or by an actual bass? I just can't get enough of the sound.

[AnnaAnnaYes]

@Schtonken An actual bass,probably a Fender Precision,and a solid -state amp

like a LAB series. I was around when a lot of these songs were made.and i come

from a family of musicians.Synths were very expensive back then,few bands had

them.Many synth lines were added in post-production.

[jseph1234567890]

@AnnaAnnaYes .. I beg to differ... I lived in connecticut and I could have gotten back in the late 70's an Ensoniq that could given that bass sound for about $400 at a store Banco's in Danbury...

[AnnaAnnaYes]

@jseph1234567890 OK Thanks for the info.Did'nt know that!

[greenstreet1955able]

@AnnaAnnaYes Not really dude. Back then there were quite a few bands that worked the Moog synth. I can't think of a band back then that DIDN'T have one. ! I'm a bassplayer, and back then I was part of an 8-10 piece group, and we ROCKED the Moog !

[AnnaAnnaYes]

@greenstreet1955able Dude!!. You sound like my brother, i have gotten quite a few emails

from bands that did have them.I hope i did'nt step on any toes with my statements.But some

bands did add synth lines after production.(BTW i'm a female). Thanks for your info!

[greenstreet1955able]

@AnnaAnnaYes Not a problem "Babe". Like my boy EeK the Cat would say, " It Never Hurts To Help". Peace !

[760birdy]

[elsinaloaism]

this jam reminds me of growing-up in orange county ca riding in my 79 cady with my hina those where the  days saludos para LA ANGEL DE NORWALK CA.

[dooktango]

It came from the 45. Usually songs on a 33 is about 6-8min long.

[CrazyIsCool1]

Does anyone know if this version came from a 33 or a 45? Because my dad has a shorter version of this song on a 45, and I thought that the shorter versions of songs were the versions played on the radio and the longer versions of songs were the versions on record. So I am wondering if maybe our 45 is the radio version and this version is the record version, or if this version is from a 33 and so it can be longer than our version from a 45....

[Inteva]

these guys were actually musicians, singers and no sampling..I know because I saw them all live. I saw the Barkays, Confunkshun, Barry White, Rick James, Tyrone Davis, Earth Wind and Fire, the Original Jackson 5 when I was 8 years old, I saw Prince, Ray Parker jr and Radio, Parliment Funckadelic, Teddy Pendergrass, Peaches and Herb. I even saw the Temptations, Sister Sledge and Marvin Gaye. I'm 48 years old.
