THE BO-KEYS SONG "WRITING ON THE WALL" TO BE FEATURED ON SEASON PREMIERE OF "SCANDAL" (ABC)

The Bo-Keys song "Writing On the Wall" featuring Percy Wiggins on vocals will be featured in the season premier of the ABC series Scandal tonight.

The Memphis soul masters have two new singles in the works and details will be announced on those shortly.

Of The Bo-Keys, The Wall Street Journal said, "Funky… authentic groove… If the Bo-Keys sound like Memphis in the 1960s and early '70s, it's probably because most of the band's musicians were recording back then for the city's top labels."

The Associated Press said, "Strong… The Bo-Keys present a muscular yet spare sound that captures the grit and grease of classic, horn-driven R&B. Where many revivalists pale compared to the originals, the Bo-Keys would have fit right in next to legendary Memphis musical crews the Bar-Kays and Booker T. & the M.G.'s."

The LA Times reviewed a recent concert, calling it "a fiery set that unfolded like a classic soul revue."

Percy Wiggins cut classic soul sides in the 1960s for ATCO and RCA with a Nashville studio band including Billy Cox and Larry Lee who later went on to become members of Jimi Hendrix’s Band of Gypies.
