The Very Best of Isaac Hayes

Sure, there may be more songs on this disc than most. But surely, Isaac Hayes' artistic vision would be better served by a boxed set or by the original albums, where the full-length performances can be heard, rather than these edited-for-broadcast versions sliced down for radio stations to sell more shampoo and chewing gum. It is an insult to the memory of such an important musical figure. The rating I have given this collection is for the business end of things, not for the fine music found within.

Hot Buttered Jazz: Celebrating the Genius of Isaac Hayes

This is an excellent tribute to the legendary Isaac Hayes. My favorite track is "Joy", but all these tracks are excellently done. I don't know why this cd does not get any airplay on these so called "smooth jazz" stations. I just happened up on this cd on a music website and thought I would check it out. Highly recommended.

Titles:
    1. Shaft Suite: Theme from "Shaft"
    2. Shaft Suite: Caf� Regio's
    3. Shaft Suite: Ellie's Love Theme
    4. Shaft Suite: Theme from "Shaft" (Reprise)
    5. Hold on I'm Coming

Only the Strong Survive - A Celebration of Soul

Wilson Pickett, Sam Moore, Mary Wilson, Isaac Hayes, Rufus Thomas
With just two exceptions, of the 15 GREAT, live, concert performances available to have been included in this production, all have been trimmed to about 30 seconds in length. For those of you who have attended a performance of James Brown any time in the last 20 years, it will remind you of his technique of trying to fit 6 hours of hit music into 90 minutes. The few measures of Wilson Pickett performing "Land of a Thousand Dances" and "In The Midnight Hour", Sam Moore (of Sam and Dave) singing "Soul Man", Isaac Hayes "Theme from Shaft" and finally "Don't Let Go" were all HUGE disappointments.
