......came Isaac Hayes. A four track album ? In 1969 ? You've got to be kidding, right ? No Sir. Isaac Hayes took the orchestration and elongation of soul music to the nth degree with this ground-breaking release. Whether or not you find the four abnormally-extended workouts to your own personal taste or not, you simply have to admire the artist's willingness to push back the boundaries of contemporary popular music and the sheer chutzpah of it all.

The opener, "Walk On By" is a magnificent interpretation of the track made famous by Dionne Warwick in anyone's book. Lushly and lasciviously orchestrated it has so many peaks it leaves you breathless, despite its essential laid back groove. The contender for the longest track name ever is next, ... Read More:

Undoubtedly one of the truly great Isaac Hayes albums, on which his capacity as an arranger reached its full flowering. Comprised almost exclusively of cover versions, "Black Moses" is a quite majestic achievement.

Not a single duff track in sight, in spite of the original double LP's generous playing time. Every track is a highlight, but my personal favourites would be his sumptuous nine-minute reading of "Close To You" -(yes, the song rendered famous by The Carpenters)- and the sensual "Your Love Is So Doggone Good". The original side four of the LP ("Part-Time Love" through "Going In Circles") is also quite breathtaking.

The one shame with the two-cd edition is that the album was not restored to its "correct" vinyl sequence. Disc one ... Read More:

My dad was a big fan of Isaac Hayes and indeed a lot of the other Stax artists, as a result, I grew up listening to a lot of music from the Stax label.

So far as Isaac Hayes is concerned and film soundtracks, this really is worth buying. Isaac Hayes shows the depth of his creativity by producing an original soundtrack that has everything in it...vocals, instrumentals, lots of strings, horns, excellant rhythym section etc.etc.

Most people will be aware of the 1st track 'The Theme from Shaft' but all the others are great as well. My particular faves include 'Soulsville', 'No Name Bar' and 'Bumpy's Lament' which specifically has been sampled/copied by numerous other rnb and rap artists.

Overall, it's a masterpiece and thoroughly ... Read More:

The very best of, not just soul music, but music.Listen, clap your hands, dance, stamp your feet. Enjoy this wonderful compilation, not just for the genius of Otis and the better known artists, but to discover the lesser known and sadly underplayed gems among them.
