Recorded at Stax Recording Studios & Satellite Recording Studio, Memphis, Tennessee between 1968 and 1972; live at Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles, California on August 20, 1972. Includes liner notes by Ron Bowman. Digitally remastered by Joe Tarantino (1996, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). In the course of the Bar-Kays' 30-year career, the album given the least amount of recognition has been DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE? Given the soulful, inspired playing featured here, this is unfortunate. On this early '70s release, The Bar-Kays' music is catchy, danceable and all around attention-grabbing. Younger generations may have missed out on this supergroup, but their musical legacy is truly indelible. The Bar-Kays played a key role in the evolution of soul music into funk during the 1970's. DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE? showcases the talents of the Memphis band; the music is both innovative and hypnotic. The Bar-Kays lay down a variety of party grooves that rival, if not better, their contemporaries', as evidenced by songs such as "I Was Made to Love Her" and "Love Pollution." The tight horn arrangements and clavinet lines are infectious, and the passionate vocals and rock-steady drumming make these tunes perfect to boogie to. It gets no funkier than this.
