Multiplatinum-selling artist Isaac Hayes, dubbed “Black Moses” during the height of his popularity, revolutionized soul music, leading it out of the era of the three-minute single into a new area-the orchestrated concept album with (very) extended cuts.
Hayes began his career as a pianist and staff writer for Stax Records, and, alongside songwriting partner David Porter, wrote some of the biggest hits of the 1960’s, including “Soul Man” and “Hold On! I’m Comin’” for Sam & Dave.
Expanding his repertoire, Hayes penned the iconic soundtrack for 1971’s Shaft. The album became Hayes’s fourth consecutive platinum LP and the “Theme from Shaft” earned him an Academy Award for Best Original Song.
Though often known for his larger than life persona, Hayes’ musical accomplishments - which laid the groundwork for disco and rap - established him as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.

50 Years Ago Today ABC TV Series. Great 😃👍 Performer Died way to Soon. Thank You Very Much
Everything that he ever did was GREAT. Three words describe him best. Sexy and Talented. Rest in peace Isaac Hayes.
Hit position #39 or #40 for 1 week in Dec. '72-great tune-love the key changes and rhythmic "layering" Mr. Hayes did on this and the Shaft theme-simple and effective-there was a marching band arrangement of this as well
Our Teen Post band used to play this every Saturday when they practice in the Poultry Market Parking lot on Compton Ave in South Central Los Angeles. R.I.P. Mr. Roy C. Johnson.
The theme music is more memorable than the TV series, which only lasted one season. Forever RIP Issac Hayes.
The show it was based on may be forgotten, but this, the theme song, will never be forgotten. It introduced us to Disco music, and by rights, was a precursor to what was coming fairly soon 🔜.
I remember when this song came
This song, and THEME FROM SHAFT, are tied for my ALL-TIME FAVORITE Isaac Hayes songs.
2023 still kickin
Black Moses definitely put his blueprint on this jam.. It's so smooth..
Harrisburg High School signature tune...1973-76...
Good stuff! I used to have "Live at Sahara Tahoe" on vinyl. It had this song.
Powerful man luv everything he did I see Gerald Albright had a version of this
The pulsation of the bass is simply stunning!
I remember this song my late mother's favorite record
My 2nd favorite song by Isaac.
Uncle hath once again 'dug-and-digged' his Isaac-of-Hayes-ness putting out another number that maketh it easy, lovely, handsome and beautiful to imagine 'The Streets of The Seventies' ... in the urban and nightlife sense ... You know how we seeth certain night scenes in "Night Fever" or "Superfly" in 'red light districts' downtown ... where "THE MEN" try and turn injustice into justice !!!
very nice...very theme-songish!!!
He left us with great gifts in music.
He's one of the greatest. composer of the 20th century.
