The whole album is BAD!!!! That orchestration, his voice (sultry evocative passionate) and ability to take us on a love journey. This is SOUL MUSIC. This album is over50 years old and still ohhhh so doggone good.
It sounds mid to late 1990s, both me and my Uncle assumed Hot Buttered Soul was just before Ike's "South Park era", and thought perhaps Black Moses released when the show was out. Two albums released during the exact era of Elvis and The Beatles, yet sounding like something you'd listen to when the PS1 was king, Windows 95 was out, and those naughty 900 commercials lol. I'd call that being 25~30 years ahead of his time musically, even the fact that Ike was bald, shirtless, black sunglasses, & wearing chains. That's straight-up 1990s fashion/aesthetic in 1969! He looked just like the video game character Shadow Man too, my favorite game from 1999 :)
This Entire Album Was Romantic, It Provided Two Type Listening Pleasure, You Could Use As A Mood Changer, Where As To Settle Your Mind For A Great Night Sleep and 2nd For A Romantic Evening In A LOW LIGHT Room With You and Your Lady Cuddling Together
No to mention just about every rapper from the 90’s and early 00’s sampled from Ike. One of the best and my favorite music artist of all time. God bless his soul RIP Legend Issac Hayes
What memories !! I literally wore my copy a black Moses out. Isaac Hayes was drenched in soul I remember hearing that he used to have a Rolls-Royce with a solid gold grill. Until the IRS took it away from them him. There was nobody like Mr. Isaac Hayes
I concur.... Sincerely as a fan and as a musician, and I'm SO Thankful that I've had the distinct pleasure to meet this genius before he was returned to the most HIGH❤
I am a 80's baby and grew up on a lot of old school music and still Isaac Hayes is one my favorites and he music never dies. I stumbled on this by accident and love it as if it was new music......don't make them like they use to...
.....12 years old, what an impact. Saw this live at first concert that I ever went to at 15. What a concert of singing and instrumentation (Violins over the top starting 5:27 and the congos starting at 5:45). Genius!!!
Isaac Hayes was the 'King' of Love Making Ballads he understood the Assignment how do I know Bro listen to 'Joy' it's a straight Eargasm and Orgasmic Experience!!
I discovered him because of South Park and WWF. I pulled the trigger in buying Hot Buttered Soul and Black Moses on CD in March 1999 as a 9 year old kid, when he opened up the WrestleMania '99 Rage Party. First time I saw him perform on stage and he won me over as a fan. The day after that show I got the CDs after school, plopping them right into my Japanese Sega Dreamcast. Those albums sounded very mid/late 1990s to me and my Uncle, and we had no idea they were from 1969 to 1972, and my Uncle is a true personification of that era. Even Ike's fashion sense was 90s-like at that time (black sunglasses, bald head, chains, shirtless). He looked like just my favorite video game character Shadow Man, a game from 1999, yet Ike did this in 1969 :) Also, I remember well those old CDs were put back on the shelves in record stores because of the renewed interest of Ike through South Park. I was one of those customers and I'm 33 now.
I was a early 70 era.but born in the 60s. I was hip or turned on to Issac Hayes by Woodrow Kellum our next door neighbor. Being 7 8 years old it was a mind blowing thing, watching the lady's walking the girls playing it me a gentleman in treatment to women as so to my wife of 40 years. Thanks Woodrow you are absolutely the man. God bless
