Description

2 LP vinyl – SX2 133

This set provides an accurate overview of the Stax era recordings of the only man fit to be called "The Black Moses Of Soul" — Isaac Hayes. Prior to becoming a solo artist, Hayes and partner David Porter were collectively responsible for well over 200 sides — including the genre defining "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby," "Soul Man," "B-A-B-Y," " "Hold On, I'm Comin'," and "I Had a Dream."

This collection gathers 16 sides from Hayes' dozen solo platters for the Memphis-based R&B Stax label and the subsidiary Enterprise Records. No "ultimate" collection could be so without a fair sampling from Hayes' seminal blaxploitation soundtrack to Shaft (1971). Enthusiasts of all degrees of interest won't go wrong with Man!: The Ultimate Isaac Hayes 1969-1977.
