An iPhone type in is hardly enough of a chance to celebrate a bad mutha Scientologist (hush yo mouth) like Isaac Hayes.
There are some great voices in this generation, but we haven't really found the deep, threateningly sexy, makes you happy just hearing it voices like Hayes', Jones', White's, Rawls'...
I can dig it. I thought the Stone/Parker to Hayes' exit was one of the crueler things I have ever seen on air. They were right that he was being a hypocrite, but using his own voice against him... brutal.
Meanwhile, I wonder whether the voice of God, Mr Freeman, has some serious connections upstairs, having stayed out of the Rule of Three.
I raise a big, salty, chocolate ball in your honor. Few artists get to leave absolutely indelible marks in more than one medium. Hayes left us Chef, Shaft, and songs to which we can all make sweet love.
