Isaac had so many different sides to him its really hard encapsulate his career into one post. I added songs he wrote / produced, popular samples, some of his smooth instrumentals, and just some of my personal favs. On a personal note, I spoke to Isaac hayes for a brief moment way back when I had my web radio station. I was being interviewed (about the station) by blackplanet.com while he was being interviewed for his cook book he had just released. We talked on the phone for about a min or so. I asked about the book and then I asked him what he thought of internet radio (it was kinda a new thing back then). After we finished, I couldnt believe I actually spoke to THE BLACK MOSES. Hes going to really be missed. We lost a major icon and one of the most unique, multi talented musicians of an era.

I already played one song from Jean Carn but I guess one more wont hurt right? I love the lyrics in this one, "Now that you know how I feel about you, dont let it go to your head". And that bass!

Like I said before, the Meters were sampled quite often but you really should give them a listen because they were just an all around great band. HMMM. no one got this one.
