Ace Records Spotlight

Back In Stock

This set provides an accurate overview of the Stax era recordings of the only man fit to be called "The Black Moses Of Soul" — Isaac Hayes. 

Prior to becoming a solo artist, Hayes and partner David Porter were collectively responsible for well over 200 sides - including the genre defining "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby," "Soul Man," "B-A-B-Y," "Hold On, I'm Comin'," and "I Had a Dream." Hayes then redefined the role of the long player with his inimitably smooth narrative style of covering classic pop and R&amp;B tracks, many of which would spiral well over ten minutes.&nbsp; 

For a new generation of Isaac Hayes fans who first came to him via samples and some outrageous threads, this is the ultimate compilation of his recordings for Stax and his own HBS productions between 1969 and 1977.&nbsp;
