Karen and Richard Carpenter .. brother/sistter act. Karen, a great drummer/vocalist ... Richard a keyboardist/vocalist. Very talented family group. But, Ike took this one to another level, didn't he? yall was there ... you know what i mean.
This was a double 8-Track. Still remember the 8-Track tape player. It had two large speakers and took about 16 size D batteries. I owned this tape and "Issac Hayes Live At Lake Tahoe". We used to blast this for the whole neighborhood. Ike Raps Again.
A dark living room, a fiber optic lamp washing changing colors on the walls and ceiling, incense burning, a fluffy comforter on the floor, a bottle of wine, my man, "Black Moses" playing... Oh, what memories.
this music is design for the mature people when we appreciated music and talent orginialty best manly express sincere feeling real power cant top it no matter what ya ya
This takes me back to when i was 14,15 and my cousin had the album along with the poster of BLACK MOSES. This is what we called "love music" and it was groundbreaking music for me as a young man! R.I.P. Isaac Hayes.
MUSICALLY SPEAKING --- IT CAN BE WELL UNDERSTOOD WHY IT IS WRITTEN..."YE ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH..." Matt.5:13 Only a SPECIAL and CHOSEN people called --- "ISRAELITES"-- could create, arrange and produce such a MASTERPIECE. I mean, just go back and listen to Bert Bacharach's original and compare ISAAC'S complimentary rendition, then you'll see what the term FLAVOR really means. THIS IS "NOT" at all a put down--- only the greatest form of flattery---THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDIN' BABY!!!!!
This man was so phenomenal, could take any boring ass song and turn it into a customized classic with his own unique sound, well orchestrated, flawless background vocals and make the original look bad like it was never writen well in the first place. Nobody but Mr. Isaac Hayes!!!
This song is a blessing. Essential Isaac - one of the best arrangers and composers of our time and a journey back in time when style still had a lot to do with actually having style.
@BartWashcloth *******From Allah we come, to Him is our ultimate return. May he be Blessed with a wide & luminous grave, forgiven for his sins, and given Paradise!!!
I recently heard the Lauren Hill & Ron Isley cover of Close to You...they should have adapted Isaac Hayes tight drum rolls between the chorus. I love Black Moses version!!
@ewalton2477 sampled by Redhead Kingpin for Eric Roberson's "Right Back With You" and Lupe Fiasco's "Ghetto Story"... I sampled it as well, the song may or may not come out...
you have got to listen to this cut live!!!!, the man was definitely talented, the school in NYC I believe the name is Julliard School of Performing Arts would have probably dismissed his talents, he was way ahead of them back in the day, started is fame at STAX Records in Memphis, TN.
this is the art of cool soul, isaac hayes is the man to listen to if the world wants to kick the shit out of you for a laugh.....this song is in my opinion better than the carpinters version which isnt the origanl either..the harmonys and layout of the track make the difference plus isaacs voice and delivery are just right......what do you think
