Ponderosa Stomp #7: Ben Cauley & The Bo-Keys performing Otis Redding's "These Arms Of Mine" (2008)
** Apologies for the crappy angle & quality **
Ben Cauley, is a trumpet player, vocalist, and founding member of the Stax recording group, The Bar-Kays. He is also notable as the lone survivor of the 1967 plane crash which claimed the life of soul singer Otis Redding.
The Bo-Keys are devotees of Stax instrumental groups like the Mar-Keys and Booker T. & the MG's, band-leader and bassist Scott Bomar formed the Bo-Keys as an homage to the quintessential Memphis sound.
Thanks so much for posting this. The lone survivor from the dreaded plane crash that took Otis and the original Barkays, Ben is in top form here and sounds Great!
