Do Your Thing (UNCUT) - Isaac Hayes - HQ

[@bopdawg1082]

Remembering the sounds that permeated the neighborhood during the summer in New York. My sister ran a music store and people would just gather outside to listen to this and all things Isaac Hayes. This was the time of the movement in America that had propelled Woodstock. My sister has passed on but little brother still see all the smiling faces that she made possible with the music she played. ❤❤❤

How can a song that’s almost 50 years old, sound so damn good? Real music doesn’t die, it gets better with age! RIP Isaac Hayes.

[@markmcnary1785]

So true about the music of our youth.

[@jabjones2165]

There you go.

[@jurgen2596]

Why does that sound so good even though it is 50 years old? because quality was still important back then. Today's people listen to music mostly on cell phones and cheap headphones. I get ear cancer. I only have records or good tapes myself. Recordings used to be recorded with more effort. today everything has to happen quickly. no matter what the quality is. the main thing is to finish quickly and earn money.

[@AGS1000]

@@jurgen2596 I disagree. There was a lot of garbage back then too. I was there, so I remember. Isaac Hayes was just determined to be one of the better producers...and absolutely the best on the STAX label. There were only a few who elevated to the rare air that he was in. And I still listen to this on my phone and through some very good headphones...

[@viccarter2149]

@@jurgen2596 I feel you are correct. Today’s music must have sexy and show things that should be kept behind closed doors. Nothing is left to the imagination.

My dad & uncle used to jam this when it first came out and I was about 9 or 10 years young. We loved it back then and played it repeatedly and to this day I still do. One of my all time favorite pieces of music. Thank you Isaac, may you be blessed in heaven for touching so many people.

[@Tarantulisimo]

Ladies & gentlemen, allow me to introduce to you: Isaac Hayes on vocals & keyboards; Pat Lewis, Rose Williams, & Telma "Tony Orlando & Dawn"/"Family Matters" Hopkins on background vocals; Lester Snell on electric piano; James Alexander on bass; Charles Pitts & Michael Toles on guitars; Gary Jones on congas & bongos; Richard "Johnny" Davis on trumpet; John Fonville on flute... And the incredible, incomparable, irreplaceable, inhuman Willie "Too Big"/"Blues Brothers" Hall on drums. #Shaft

Thanks Tarantulisimo .... I always wondered who was on bass; Mr. Alexander is right in sync with Willie Hall!!!!!
