David Sanborn Isaac Hayes New York State of Mind

[smartalek1]

Black Moses!

Ben Jonson said about Shakespeare: "He was not of an age, but for all time."

Isaac Hayes would have been a transcendent talent in any age or era. But it took the USA of the '50s & '60s to make him the Isaac Hayes we were blessed to have with us (though nowhere near as long as we should have; he was taken far too soon).

He is entirely of this particular age, and he is entirely for all times as well.

RIP, Mr Hayes, and thank you for giving us so much.

Funky at 3:22! I didn't expect that... Well, I kinda did, since Marcus Miller is playing bass. He is the funkiest guy around.

I keep imagining him as chef watching him sing this song

I like Billy Joel singing it better.
