You picked a good one. This is my favorite Isaac Hayes song. I love the long album version. Andy is a four letter word. | |

a little trivia about this song...
in 1979,Isaac was driving around town when he heard Rod Stewart's "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" on the radio.That song inspired him to jump on the disco bandwagon and record a disco track too. | |

The song is FUNNY as hell, cuz u can tell that Isaac is waaay out of his element. Not musically, but vocally. He's trying his best to SOUND sexy with his out of key singing ass! It's his talk sing style that's funny on this. "Ahhh shucks"! SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

This is a great song. I never Issac's version was a remake. I heard 2 different versions of this song on the "oldies" station by me last weekend. Both versions were from the early 60's. Issac definetly had the "best" version (lol). | |

Yeah,this song was originally recorded by Roy Hamilton in the 60s.I agree,Isaac's version is superior. | |

jerry lee lewis did a cover of this song also in '79... he takes it in a different direction, though, and rocks the hell out of it... i dig both versions...  Mr. Ellis Dee-licious, the Official NPGigolo

I love this song but it never appears on any of his collections (or if it does, it appears on collections that don't have his other big hits). Why can't labels just get along, | |
