R.I.P. ISAAC HAYES

Here's a video mash-up set to the tune of an annoying dance remix ofI Isaac's Academy Award-winning SHAFT with (I'm just warning you) a hideous synth line "perking up" the chorus. It's hard to believe that some remixer actually heard all of those fantastic horn and string arrangements and vainly thought "I can do better with this vile synth line", but it's still a tribute to a major 70's musician with a unique sound which lasted for a good decade, staring with STAX Records.



Isaac often dabbled in cover tunes. Here's his live version of Isaac's disco hit DON'T LET GO:
