In 1972, The Bar-Kays released "Do You See What I See?", marking their resilience after a tragic 1967 plane crash. Hailing from Memphis, their blend of rock, funk, and soul shines in tracks like the titular song and "You're the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me." Their influence extends to hip-hop, sampled by artists like Black Sheep and Ice-T. Their backing for icons like Otis Redding and Isaac Hayes highlights their enduring impact on funk and soul.
