Man!: The Ultimate Isaac Hayes 1969-1977

60s 70s Soul Funk Back in stock for this great compilation album This set provides an accurate overview of the Stax era recordings of the only man fit to be called The Black Moses Of Soul Isaac Hayes Prior to becoming a solo artist Hayes and partner David Porter were collectively responsible for well over 200 sides including the genre defining When Something Is Wrong With My Baby Soul Man BABY Hold On I'm Comin' and I Had a Dream Hayes then redefined the role of the long player with his inimitably smooth narrative style of covering classic pop and RampB tracks many of which would spiral well over ten minutesnbsp The double cd contains the full length versions of Look of Love By The Time I Get To Phoenix and Walk on By The double vinyl has 16 tracksFor a new generation of Isaac Hayes fans who first came to him via samples and some outrageous threads this is the ultimate compilation of his recordings for Stax and his own HBS productions between 1969 and 1977 R Kelly posing Black

revolutionised black music by taking it away from the 7 inch single and moving it on to the long playing format Two of them have now gone and Stevie Wonder whatever he says never appears to have the

from the 7 inch single and moving it on to the long playing format Two of them have now gone and Stevie Wonder whatever he says never appears to have the menace that Ike plays so well in the modern mediaIsaac deserves this acclaim Not only is he an intelligent gifted artist he is a great songwriter who worried less about getting his publishing on an album than making a great artistic statement His Hot Buttered Soul was the first album to emerge from a major RampB artist recorded specifically as an album It was also a huge success going high in the Pop RampB jazz and easy listening charts It obviously sold well and suddenly RampB label bosses could see the advantages of letting their artists make albumlength statements Without Hot Buttered Soul and its follow ups The Isaac Hayes Movement and To Be Continued we may never have seen albums such as What's Going On or Curtis with their extended suites or long long songs and would Norman Whitfield have bothered to work on something as outrageous as the 12 minute Papa Was A Rolling StoneBut Hayes' pinnacle was yet to be reached Over the period covered by our compilation he scored hit after hit every studio album virtually guaranteed top spot on the RampB charts He was making records that combined his incredible voice with instrumentation that would later fuel virtually every act out of Bristol in the 90s And he beat this by writing one of the finest with one of the most recognisable themes movie soundtracks of all time with Shaft And proudly garnering the respect he so richly deserved he turned up not with a gaggle of beautiful women but with his grandmother who had brought up Ike and his sister through incredible poverty in 1950s Memphis Sheer classThis album is the gathering together of the most important work of one of the most important musicians to have worked in the latter part of the 20th CenturyIsaac is all around us and long may he remain By Dean Rudland ShareThis See more at
