 ISAAC HAYES: SOUL PATROL ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAMER
While he is no longer as vocal or opinionated over the air as he once was, his voice is one that stands front and center AGAINST today's "so called" R&B and FOR looking back at the glorious historical contributions of the past, as a pointer for the direction of the music for the future.
That Isaac Hayes is such a vocal supporter of the legacy of "Classic Soul/Funk" should come as no surprise since he is also one of the most important creators of that legacy!
In the liner notes of this album, Stephen Ivory says: "Isaac Hayes treats tried and true pop and R&B classics as if they are nothing more than expensive, polished demos to be transformed and redefined into a dramatic, elongated, blissed-out soul opera of his imaginative design".

Hayes' laid back delivery and gorgeous arrangements are still breathtaking, and the album remains a quintessential slice of '70s soul.
