Cafe Regio's by Isaac Hayes

[letabooh]

In a dream I met Issac at Cafe Regio's for a business meet R.I.P

[medusa7ful]

Don't feel sorry for the young today! They see more than we give them credit for. My prophesy is this! They are the ones who will change the world and it will be a new Renaissance here in America and around the world.

i'd love to know where you got this 45 r.p.m. record of 'cafe regio' by isaac hayes, because:

* at the time, {when the movie, "shaft" was popular} it was on the label of "enterprise', not stax records

* it has to be a rare, & collectable label, seeing that stax, is no longer operating, nor is the label of enterprise, & when it was released, {here in the u.s.a.} it wasn't even in stereo, like the copy that you have...

But I guess you won't tell me.. oh well....

That's what I call the '70s iPod !!!! xD

[Mickey58D]

Ooh, that doesn't half sound like George Benson, playing the guitar!



[palexandersquires]

Listen to Micheal Toles on lead guitar and this tune is so good all 6:00 of it

RIP Issac Hayes we ought to have this music in our supermarkets instead of that

Crappy Musak!

[cappy2008]

The Hayes family is related to me...Don't know if Issac is in the Hayes clan that my Dad told me were our relatives...But, hey it's all good...Hope he is though :)

[LadyP4u2]

This reminds me of my mom, driving down I-71 going home! Putting the peddle to the medal.....you go mama, I love and miss you so much. Thanks for the memories....and you to Ike!

[satch0phile]

if you get cafe regio on vinyl forgot what label it was on because mrnextdoorscat showed me it turn it around and you will get shaft

[meexchsfme]

A very good friend, that has long been gone, did a very good [excellent ] job on this and many other classic jazz tunes . You are missed Bryce Robertson!

[The1diamond2pearls]

This song brings back so many memories.....I was a teenager when this song hit and man, I played this 45rpm until it warped (and then got another one.) The music and the arrangements are classic. It lives forever. Thanks iGuy101. This made my day.

Thanks to Youtube, people are finding out what just how great Isaac Hayes was- From being at the forefront of the Stax/Memphis sound (wrote Soul Man, Hold On- I'm Comin" etc), to his own hits, to the Shaft soundtrack and so on. To think the younger generation mainly knows him as the voice of "Chef" on SouthPark! He was so much more.

[eddiemurphyfan100]

i like this track. I wonder if there's a real Cafe Regio's

[outtlett]

@eddiemurphyfan100 Yes it's still in Greenich Village in NYC...

[reginaw020]

sweet

[dukeofsoul]

AWESOME !!!

[studentprince69]

Hi, Thanks for posting this....great song. By the way,nice turntable!

[80sfordman]

Superb sound offa that record! Just show's what a good, quality turntable can do...put a CD to shame!

[lpnstudent]

This is so sweet it is a veritable musical cocktail. From Isaac's theme from Shaft album.

[noprocrastination]

I used to hang out at Cafe' Regios in the late 90's at East Village in Manhattan. Does anyone know if it's still around? Thanks for sharing this Classic Jam....RIP Maestro Issac Hayes!!!

[noprocrastination]

I used to hang out at this Club in East Village in Manhattan. A lot of memorabilia of the Shaft movie adorns the walls throughout the Cafe' Does anyone know if it's still there?

[gebass6]

Hey!!I was 11 years old in Great Lakes Il.My Dad had the Theme from Shaft record and this was my favorite song.

[flatuelas]

Que maravilla de canción. Alegre, evocadora, optimista, sugerente....

[trademark1874]

AAAAHHHHH! This song makes me happy!

[sootycakes]

class guitar playing

[bellaheike]

Groovy sound of the past.....

[cappy2008]

This is the music I grew up with. I feel sorry for the young people today with all they have to listen to. No one master instruments and voice anymore

[tvwatcher35]

You are right cappy. It is a shame. We need to teach there is more to music than sampling.

[saron380]

@cappy2008 I like this shit, and I'm 17

but I also like todays music, that doens't mean it's bad, it's just different tastes mate

[cappy2008]

@saron380 I agree I am glad you are of your generation who is trying to expand their musical tastes..As for taste in music of today...Too much derogatory language that reflects on my culture negatively..Sorry son, that's bad taste to me...Anyone can grab a mike and curse and talk about what woman you doin' It takes SKILL to play what I grew up listening to..

[saron380]

@cappy2008 I can play this

this song's just a vamp from Abmaj-Dbmaj in Ionian mode,

[cappy2008]

@saron380 glad you are taking interest in it :)

If someone was to say this was Wes Montgomery,it would be believed. Sounds just like him during his big band years.

[ethurst2]

I read that Hayes modeled the instrumental after Wes Montgomery. J.J> Johnson, the famous jazz trombonist wrote the horn parts for this song.

[Ruffrob]

Where did you read that,I'd sure like to see it. Please post a link to this story..Thanks

[ethurst2]

Hate to say this but Don Davis had nothing to do with this track. It was mastered in Detroit because Al Bell wanted Stax to have more of a Northern Sound. Trombonist J.J. Johnson wrote all of the horn tracks and Johnny Allen helped out on the production.

[intojazznyc]

One excellent track ! its no wonder that he had other talented jazz musicians as his friends,herb alpert,quincy jones,gato barbieri and miles.

[ndh235]

R.I.P Isaac Hayes.this man made great soul.

[posaico]

The best instrumental ever composed by hayes, it must be a great hit by his own, but was only a "b" side

[MusicManKevin]

Once again you come up with a great gem. I have the 45 (it was the flipside of the Shaft Theme here in the USA) and I always felt the guitarist's work on CR would've made the late Wes Montgomery very proud!

[ethurst2]

Does anyone have the chords to this song? Can't find them anywhere?

[congaplayera]

This is, without a doubt, my favorite tune from the "SHAFT" lp. A gigantic arrange by a true musical genius. RESQUIESCAT IN PACE, ISSAC ! ! !

[captblake]

Great Song, Great Guy,see you up there Isaac.

[bean9seventy]

this sounds familiar,,, early smooth jazz , i mean jazz funk i mean , soul,,,,,

[pyro363]

Wow amazing

[ksinger55]

Hey iGuy-great song, thanks for posting the video-lesser known from the Shaft album by Isaac Hayes. I always associate this with Bourgie Bourgie, another great soul instrumental by Ashford & Simpson-do you have that one?

[iGuy101]

Yes I do know that one and it's a good tune, this ones a little bit more laid back though, both good. I am a big fan of instrumentals check out "Inside America" by Juggy Jones on my channel another great track Best wishes Guy

[wufwufwufwuf]

toooOOON

[iGuy101]

Thanks wuf, it's perfect for this sunny day we have, laid back and easy

[Bedazzled07]
