Description

Isaac Hayes was a driving force behind the southern soul music label Stax Records where he served as an in-house songwriter and as a record producer teaming with his partner David Porter during the mid-1960s. He co-wrote lots of hits for the likes of Eddie Floyd, Sam And Dave, and Carla Thomas. He played the keyboard and produced on numerous sessions. He was the heart and soul of Memphis soul but never wanted to become a star. Yet when his second solo album, 1969 Hot Buttered Soul, emerged, Isaac Hayes fame grew so big that subsequent albums spoke of a Movement and a Black Moses, and his music became symphonic and expansive the very opposite of the hit-it-and-quit-it 60s Memphis soul he helped create.This vinyl edition produced by Stax Records in 2014.TRACKLISTING:1.
