for quite some time, for only this morning I read the
sad news mr. Isaac Hayes has passed away...
So today a tribute to the black moses of soul,
a tribute to the song he was probably most famous for.
May he rest in peace and may his music live on forever.

hi e-mile! of course you can link me, thanks :))
Thanks Emil ... Van Twist and Sammy Davis did indeed record super versions ... My favourites are the steel band versionS, though, and the ones by Cabaret Voltaire and Enoch Light. And the Button Down Brass Band, obviously. One that I'm curious for, is the one by Eddy & the Soul Band ... is that any good ?
Hey but the best remake is of course by Isaac Hayes (RIP) himself, "Shaft II", off "For The Sake Of Love" (1978) !
