Too Hot to Stop is a 1976 album by the American funk group The Bar-Kays.^[5][6] It was their first album for Mercury Records.^[7] It includes the hit "Shake Your Rump to the Funk".

Critical reception

The New Rolling Stone Record Guide deemed the album "unashamedly derivative Ohio Players funk."^[4] Despite this review, Too Hot To Stop is considered by funk fans to be one of the very best Bar-Kays albums. Its content caused George Clinton, leader of Parliament-Funkadelic, to invite the Bar-Kays to be one of the opening acts on his band's legendary 1976-77 P-Funk Earth Tour.^{[citation needed]}
