ISAAC HAYES The Man! The Ultimate Isaac Hayes 1969-1977 (Ace Records UK 26-track double album 2-LP pressed on classic black vinyl. This set provides a definitive overview of the Stax-era recordings of the only man fit to be called The Black Moses of Soul - Isaac Hayes. Before launching his solo career, Hayes, alongside songwriting partner David Porter, was responsible for more than 200 songs including numerous classics. As a solo artist, Hayes revolutionised the long player format, stretching pop and R&B covers into expansive narratives often running well over ten minutes, and in the process, redefining soul music for the 1970s. For a new generation of fans - many introduced through hip-hop samples or his flamboyant sense of style - this compilation brings together highlights of his recordings for Stax and his own Hot Buttered Soul Productions between 1969 and 1977. Featuring both chart hits and deep cuts, it stands as the ultimate showcase of Hayes' commanding voice, cinematic arrangements, and timeless groove. Picture sleeve, factory sealed)
