Today Marks The 56th Anniversary of The Bar-Kay’s’ 2nd Studio Album “Gotta Groove” Originally Released on January 1, 1969.
“Gotta Groove” is the second studio album by American funk band The Bar-Kays released in 1969 on Volt Records.
The album reached #40 on the U.S. Billboard Hot R&B LP's chart.
The album marked a triumphant return by a band reeling from tragedy after four members of the band were killed in a plane crash with Otis Redding in 1967.
Surviving members Ben Cauley and James Alexander rebuilt the Bar-Kays with new musicians, and by 1969 they were back in the studio working with artists like Isaac Hayes.
“Gotta Groove” was the band’s first release with the new members and it stands as a testament to their talent.
