R.I.P. Black Moses (Isaac Hayes)
It’s been one hell of a week. If you haven’t heard, Isaac Hayes just passed away today. Circumstances unknown, but it is a tragic loss. The man was a legend. I’m not going to try to eulogize the man, but I will do a bit help to celebrate his life and the influence he’s had. Slip these in your rotation.
Isaac Hayes – Hung Up On My Baby (Tough Guys OST)
This is one of my all time favorites by Mr. Hayes. Give it some love today.

Visioneers – Ike’s Mood I (cover version at 45RPM)
This is from my secret stash and I get asked about this cover nearly every time I play it. I’m giving it up here. They cover the cut at 45RPM, straight classic.
