The seventh studio album by American soul mastermind Isaac Hayes, Chocolate Chip was released in 1975 by ABC Records through Hayes’ own imprint, Hot Buttered Soul Records, marking Hayes’ first release after leaving the then-financially troubled Stax label. The album was Hayes’ transition to a more danceable and sophisticated side and featured horns and layered beats while maintaining his traditional soulful vocals. This soul-funk masterpiece garnered two top 20 singles: “Chocolate Chip”, and “I Want to Make Love to You”, and includes the funky nugget “I Can’t Turn Around”, a very popular song which has been extensively sampled and remixed by the godfathers of the 1980s Chicago House scene Farley “Jackmaster” Funk, Steve “Silk” Hurley, and Ron Hardy.
