Soul Finger by the Bar-Kays live at SxSW2009

[arkaburger]

Where's Ben Cauley?  Soul Finger without his trumpet is like ice cream without the ice and without the cream.

the group was the second house band behind the mc's on stax (pre-stax/volt). the guitarist, drummer, organist and sax all passed in an unfortunate plane crash on the way to a gig - only the bassist and trumpet survived - in this group? otis actually wanted them as his band, but got the mc's on his hits.

Did they play "Freakshow on the Dance Floor"?

This is so effing sad. How dare these pretenders...

[hellooben]

wtf did u mean by that?

[poyoung]

I mean God Bless James Alexander, but this band is barely good enough for this pale imitation of "Soul Finger." No horns, but cheap-jack synths? The guitar player doesn't even sound like he ever listened to the original track. These ham-fisted party boys should stick to their own half-assed rubber soul like "Holy Ghost" and "Do It." These aren't even the same guys who did "Shake Your Rump to the Funk." That's what I meant. Is there anything else you don't know that I can straighten out?

[Shamakah]

@poyoung Actually James Alexander is playing bass on this video and Larry Dotson is in the white hat!

[MST3kTomServo]

Right on!

[FellowTraveller]
