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.

      And Lord God we appreciate all of our Vietnam veterans service, male and female!!!!! NONE of you guys got the thanks and recognition that you all so richly deserved. Even though l was a little girl in the late 1960's and mid 1970's when y'all came on back home, l STILL see the difference between how people talked about the WWII and Korean vets and the Nam vets. It was painful to see my cousin l adored come back home.... DIFFERENT. There was a sadness that he carried. A pain that couldn't be eased by anyone. I still miss his smiling eyes before he was drafted. Thanks again for your comment regarding your brothers and you, as well as your service to this ungrateful nation. Peace and continued BLESSINGS to you and your family.

    I'm 60 years old now, and I will never forget, I was working with a Caucasian guy who was younger than me when Isaac was at the second wave of his Fame (CHEF)on South Park.
    When I had told my coworker about Isaac Hayes back in the day, and went to RUclips and played this he couldn't believe it, and found such much more admiration for Isaac after finding out his real claim to fame.😁

      Sorry to bother you, but perhaps you know the title of a song I’m looking for. I wonder if it exists as a single piece on yt.
      In the A-Team episode titled The Heart of Rock n’Roll S04 E06 Isaac Hayes is singing this song and I fell in love with it. I’ve written down the lyrics from hearing and ‘ve been googling them,
      I’ve been listening to his music available on yt but cannot find it -
      ‘what do you do when the one you love is gone
      how do you face each day all alone
      how do you smile when the pain is growing inside’
      Regards to You from a random Caucasian girl.

    Today is the first time I’m hearing this. Strangely enough, it reminds me of my Mom and Dad… My Dad was from Kentucky. He moved out to Las Vegas where he met my Mom who was 15 years younger than him. It’s strange how things happen. He was working in Vegas and my Mom went there just for a few days to get away with my Great Grandma. My parents were 2 heartbroken people from complete opposite sides of the country who never would’ve met had they both not been in Vegas at that precise moment in time. My Dad flew to LA and drove to the San Fernando Valley every weekend to see my Mom. They finally got married and he moved to Los Angeles. 2 years later, I was born… Much like the story in this song, my Mom cheated on him. He drank and gambled a lot though. They had their problems and divorced when I was still a baby but they always loved each other until the day he died, despite him eventually remarrying. My Dad died from cancer in 2008 and today marks 47 years since he and my Mom got married. As I was listening to this and thinking about my parents, my Mom text to tell me today would’ve been their 47th wedding anniversary, just as I was thinking of it. How very strange. Sometimes we hear a song at a precise moment in time for a reason… I love this man’s music. I often play ‘Walk On By’ and ‘Joy’ back-to-back when I go on my walks around the parks… They just don’t make music with soul like this anymore. RIP Isaac Hayes.

    My step father used to play Ike 90% of the time he played music. Mama did him bad for 10 years before he left. I turned 21 and realized what we had put this great man through. I got in front of him, begged him to forgive me and got on my knees and cried and thanked him. By then he had a new wife, three children who loved him and secretly had six months to die of pancreatic cancer. Never told anybody about the cancer except his wife and mama. I still love him, he was there when I needed to see what a man does. Mama will never admit she messed up, but like the Afrakan spiritualist say, a woman is never wrong. Still and always will love Daddy, yet my step father did what a man should do, for ten kids he did NOT bring into this world and he did it for ten years. By the time I get to Phoenix was one of his favorites.
