Isaac Hayes was a great musician and song writer who will be missed. His Shaft score is a historic master piece and he had “bling” before it was called that.

a few years ago in walking around in brooklyn with a guy who always comes across the best stuff, we found an 8-track player with a box a tapes to go with it. we grabbed some beer and went to our friend’s house around the corner to listen to our score.
the hank williams 8-track was quite a gem coming out of that little speaker on the side. but the clear winner of that golden afternoon was hot buttered soul. give thanks.
