2024! This symphony was one of if not best orchestrations of modern music of the last century! Excellence! Three percussionists needed on three sets of drums, plus brass, keyboards, strings, guitars, woodwinds, special effects, vocals, etc.! A powerhouse! Thank you, Isaac Hayes!

Black american culture is U.S. culture. The music from the 40's to current day. Food, dance, speech not to mention all the inventions that we made that were stolen or discredited from us. From traffic lights to peanut butter. This music will never be duplicated, it drips unadulterated soul from every note. America takes us for granted. Let's not forget, The Beatles got off their plane looking for Muddy Waters, not Elvis. And let's not forget all the influences Elvis got from Black American blues. Fast forward, Daft Punk's "one more time" came from a sample of Eddie John, a Black American.

1972, I was a senior in high school when this hit the AM airwaves (no such thing as FM at that time in our area). 52+ years later, I am continually blown away every time I hear this. Then many years later my kids discovered Isaac Hayes as "Chef" on South Park. I got out my old vinyl 33's and schooled my teenagers. Caught them totally off guard. New Isaac fans!

Isaac Hayes. One of the best composers ever. He grew up in Memphis Tennessee. Went to Manassas high school with my mom and her siblings. He was best friends with my uncle. I asked my mom did you know he was gonna be what he became. She remembered him playing the sax in high school, but nothing to indicate his stellar career. He was known as bubba back then. I met is mom and sister, at his moms house. I was probably 8 years old. Towards the end of his life my uncle ran into him again in Vegas, and they got caught up. Kinda sad they all died within 2 years of each other. first my mom, them my uncle, then Bubba. What a cool guy he was. Such an innovator.
