About

Isaac Hayes transformed soul music with his dense, orchestral productions featuring long instrumental introductions, wah-wah guitar, and deeply personal vocal performances. His Hot Buttered Soul album essentially invented the extended soul epic. The Shaft soundtrack made him a pop culture figure while cementing his place as one of the most sampled artists in hip hop history.
