isaac hayes / comments

I have know of Isaac Hayes for a long time. But, when I heard the song "Joy Part 1" my, my, my. I love that song. Shaft has always been a favorite of mine and it deserved the Oscar, no doubt. Then "Never Can Say Goodbye" and "Walk On By" both remakes of classic songs and done remarkably (sp) well by Isaac. He was a musical genius and is greatly missed. Luv you Isaac Hayes.

Isaac Hayes was a musical genius.  His music has always been in the soundtrack of my life.  When he died, it hurt like a member of my family had passed.  I grew up listening to his music blaring from my Dad's HiFi.  As I got older and lived life a little more, I became a fan myself.  To this day, I think the "Theme From Shaft" is the baddest song ever written.  I adopted it as my own personal theme song years ago.  If you never heard his stuff before, below is a list of some of my favorites.  (Not all inclusive)  Rest In Peace, Ike!  You are missed.
