Isaac Hayes tribute


I received the news of death of Isaac Hayes with much sadness. I have been an ardent fan of his music for as long as I can remember.

His baritone voice while singing made the message in the song even more significant. I Stand Accused, One Woman, By the Time I Get to Phoenix and others are some of his evergreen songs.

He also featured in soundtracks of the Shaft movies, my younger-days craze. I own a couple of vinyl LPs, now I have even a bigger reason to preserve them as treasures to remember the great man by.

Bye bye Black Moses, you're gone but your song shall remain with us always.
