Bar-Kays - As One
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Review from allmusic.com
by Jason Ankeny
The Bar-Kays spent much of 1976 as the opening attraction supporting the
Parliament-Funkadelic traveling circus, and the P-Funk influence seeps into
every pore of Too Hot to Stop. While lacking the cosmic reach and freak-show
genius of George Clinton, this is nevertheless The Bar-Kays' last stab at
greatness, delivering hard-driving funk with all the energy and conviction of
their classic Stax sides. The grooves here are vacuum-packed, exhibiting the
telepathic interplay born solely from years of collaboration. Indeed, the
quality of the performances more than makes up for Too Hot to Stop's often
pedestrian melodies, although to its credit the band covers a wide stretch of
ground spanning from breakneck funk ("Whitehouseorgy") to slow jams
("You're So Sexy") to ballads ("Summer of Our Love").
