Remembering one of the most creative forces within Southern Soul music, Isaac Hayes on his birthday. Born on this day in 1942 in Tennessee, he passed away in 2008 at the age of 65. He was an in-house songwriter, a session musician and record producer with Stax Records, teaming up with his partner David Porter during the mid-1960s. Hayes and Porter were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2005 in recognition of writing scores of songs for themselves, the duo Sam & Dave, Carla Thomas, William Bell, Johnnie Taylor and others. In 2002 Isaac was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
He wrote this gem together with guitarist Steve Cropper for this little known band, which has been played on the rare soul scene almost from its inception, The Astors from 1965 with "Candy".

"People think of my dad as the prince of darkness, a moody performer who turned his back on the audience out of disregard for them. That wasn’t him at all. But this wasn’t something I truly realised until I stood onstage with him as part of his legendary band: Dad wasn’t turning away from the audience; he was turning toward the band. It wasn’t a sign of disrespect for those there to hear him; it was a sign of respect for those there to play. And I was lucky enough to be there to play.
I knew he was a famous musician, but didn’t quite understand how famous. As a kid, I was always telling him I wanted to be a musician. Finally, when I was 14, he asked if I wanted to go on the road with him in the summer.
Of course, I said yes.
I learned a lot, not only about music, but about my father, during those summer tours. As I stood in the wings, I saw that playing the music live was the most important thing to him.
Those tours were the first sustained amount of time I spent with my father. What I discovered about him was how he could break down what was going on in any musical performance – and find something to take away from it.
I remember once watching a heavy metal show on MTV, and when Slayer came on, I thought, “Dad’s going to hate this.” He watched for a bit and then said, “Huh. That drummer is really laying it down, isn’t he?” Then he just walked away.
He finally asked me onstage for a tour in 1990. He was giving me a chance and I was terrified of blowing it. I played electronic percussion, which was a genre my dad kind of invented.
I didn’t even get any rehearsals. I watched the guy who did it before me for a couple of shows, then I was just kind of on it, in the seat. It was nerve-racking for me, but at the same time, it felt wonderful to have my father turn toward me, to listen to me and to play with me as an equal."

The music R&B industry has yet suffered another significant loss of one of the members of the greatest groups that contributed to music, in the 60's The Four Tops🙏🏾

So sad to hear the news that the last remaining member of the Four Tops, Abdul "Duke" Fakir has passed away at the age of 88. Hear him backing Levi on this beautiful ballad from 1970, "Still Waters Run Deep". R.I.P to a legend. 🙏
