The Bar-Kays - She Talks To Me With Her Body (Petko Turner Edit)

The Bar-Kays began in Memphis, Tennessee, as a studio session group, backing major artists at Stax Records. In 1967 they were chosen by Otis Redding to play as his backing band and were tutored for that role by Al Jackson, Jr., Booker T. Jones, and the other members of Booker T. & the M.G.'s.[1] Their first single, "Soul Finger", was issued on April 14, 1967, reaching number 3 on the US Billboard R&B Singles chart and number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100. On December 10, 1967, Redding and four members of the band—Jimmie King (born June 8, 1949; guitar), Ronnie Caldwell (born December 27, 1948; electric organ), Phalon Jones (born 1948; saxophone), and Carl Cunningham (born 1948; drums)—and their partner, Matthew Kelly, died when their airplane crashed into Lake Monona, near Madison, Wisconsin, while attempting to land at Truax Field. Redding and the band were scheduled to play their next concerts in Madison. Trumpeter Ben Cauley was the only survivor of the crash. Bassist James Alexander was on another plane, as the plane carrying Redding held only seven passengers. Cauley and Alexander rebuilt the group.

The re-formed band consisted of Cauley; Alexander; Harvey Henderson, saxophone; Michael Toles, guitar; Ronnie Gorden, organ; Willie Hall, drums; and later Larry Dodson (formerly of fellow Stax act the Temprees), lead vocals. The group backed dozens of major Stax artists on recordings, including Isaac Hayes on his album Hot Buttered Soul.

Cauley left the group in 1971, leaving Alexander, Dodson (vocals, vibes), Barry Wilkins (guitar), Winston Stewart (keyboards), Henderson (tenor sax, flute), Charles "Scoops" Allen (trumpet), and Alvin Hunter (drums) to create the album Black Rock.[2] Lloyd Smith joined in 1973, and the band changed musical direction during the 1970s, forging a successful career in funk music. With the Stax/Volt label folding in 1975, the group signed with Mercury Records.[3] In 1976, Dodson (vocals), Alexander (bass), Lloyd Smith (guitar), Allen (trumpet), Henderson (saxophone), Frank Thompson (trombone), Stewart (keyboards), and Mike Beard (drums) brought their "Shake Your Rump to the Funk" track into the R&B Top Five.[3] In autumn 1977, the group came out with Flying High on Your Love, an album that featured "Shut the Funk Up", a "near-perfect disco song punctuated by the funky horn triumvirate of Charles 'Scoop' Allen, Harvey 'Joe' Henderson, and Frank 'Captain Disaster' Thompson and dominated by vocalist Larry 'D' Dodson's call to 'get on up or just shut the funk up.'"[4]

In 1983, Sherman Guy left the group, and Larry (LJ) Johnson took his place on vocals and percussion. Charles Allen left the group just before it took a more commercial direction.[5] The Bar-Kays continued to have hits on R&B charts well into the 1980s.

Guitarist Marcus Price, a member of the band, was murdered after leaving a rehearsal in 1984; the crime has never been solved by the Memphis police.

The band took an extended break in the late 1980s but regrouped in 1991, with Alexander once again being the only original member. Since 1991, Larry Dodson, Archie Love, Bryan Smith, and Tony Gentry have been added to the group.

Alexander's son is the award-winning rapper and record producer Phalon "Jazze Pha" Alexander, named after Phalon Jones, who died in the 1967 plane crash. Jazze Pha produced the most recent effort by the group, "Grown Folks", released in 2012.[citation needed] In 2013, the group was inducted into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame.[6] On June 6, 2015, the Bar-Kays were inducted into the Official Rhythm & Blues Music Hall of Fame in Clarksdale, Mississippi.

Trumpeter Ben Cauley died in Memphis on September 21, 2015, at the age of 67.[7]

I call my baby up on the telephone
I got connected to a freaky zone
The conversation was strictly void
Said if you don't join the party, go home

The operator said, this was no mistake
I been connecting every move you make
I hope you're ready to think right
I'm gonna operate my love tonight

Operator, this is an emergency
Operator, baby, burning up on me
Operator, this is an emergency
Operator

Operate that body, operate on me
Operate that body, take control of me
Operate that body, operate on me
Take control of that body, take control of me

Person to person is how it's got to be
Just one on one, baby, you and me
Computer freaking all night long
And you can bet that all my circuits are strong

Just call me up whenever you find the time
We'll get together on the party line
Let's take our time and do it right
We're gonna operate our love tonight

Operator, this is an emergency
Operator, baby burning up on me
Operator, this is an emergency
Operator

Call me up any time, any time
I'm all in the mix because it's
Party time, I'm gonna take my time
Gonna do it right, do it right
I'm gonna operate your love tonight

Operator, this is an emergency
Operator, baby, burning up on me
Operator, this is an emergency
Operator, operator

"Operator, can I help you?"
"Yes, I'm trying to, uh, reach my baby
And I dialed six one six"
"Hey, sir, could you speak up
A little louder because
I can just barely hear you"

Operator was busy at the time
She told me, Hold, please, on the telephone line
I told her, Hurry up, cause I aint got much time
Its an emergency, I spent my last dime
I need a, I need a, I need a"

Operator, this is an emergency
Operator, baby, burning up on me
Operator, this is an emergency
Operator

Operator, this is an emergency
Operator, baby, burning up on me
Operator, this is an emergency
Operator
