My fave rendition of Walk On By



Vintage rehearsal footage.

Walk on By (Hayes version) is the Shiz-Nit!

I like that other song he has Hyperboldkjdyuwtflrkndkbslknrsikbflknmsdghfgdmystic.

I love By The Time I Get To Phoenix.

His chops REALLY shine in them long songs.

I'm still blown away when I play that song. All four songs from Hot Buttered Soul kick ass. Isaac shut it down!

yeah I know what you talkin' about on this song....the bass in this song is just way too funky!!!

missfee said:

And the keys Isaac hit. He took it to church and THEN SOME!

The organ solo @ the end of Walk On By(not featured in the clip though) shows you that Truck Turner ain't a 2-bit joke.

Ya know it!!!!

I use to be so in love with issac...
than he became a scientologist...

My favorites would be "Don't Let Go", "Fever", "Shaft", and "Funky Junky".

I mean, isn't everybody nowadays though? Its seem "uncool" to believe in god nowadays. You can't even say you're a religious person in here without the "Religion is what corrupted the world" crowd

Speaking of which, check what he said about 'em

I love Hot Buttered Soul, from start to finish, but I've never heard Black Moses, although I heard that it is a good album. Is it better/worse, or even with Hot Buttered Soul?

I have also been playing the hell out of his "Never Can Say Goodbye". It's soooo dark.

daPrettyman said:

Most of his covers were ominous compared to the originals. I just recently heard the original version of "I Stand Accused" by Jerry Butler and Isaac actually turned that sucker around, brought a rap and then kilt it vocally... (((shudders))) Ike's the man even if he is a Scientologist.

Harlepolis said:

You put the hurt on me. You socked it to me when you said goodbye.
Never let you see the tears in my eye. WAlk on by. Walk. Walk on bye.
One of my favorites by isaac. Don't get me started on I stand accused.
That dialogue at the beginning is equivalent to lionel richie's dialogue at the
beginning of just to be close to you.

Harlepolis said:

EPIC!

Oh I love HotButterdSoul...way too funky!! - Issac Hayes did it right!

Those Nashville, Tennessee cats had it goin on didnt they?

Didnt they also do the soundtrack to the original Shaft? *shut yo mouth*

And the instrumental in the middle of the long version of Walk on By always hits me where it hurts ...Ohhh...too much baby...too funky

Can give nothing but a to this whole album

As Maurice White once said, "The melting pot for all kinds of musicians". Which is TRUE as they come when you look bac in history,,,most of our musical history makers are from TN

Don't you mean MEMPHIS? :scratch: Since that's where Isaac and Stax originated from.

Timmy84 said:

Well I was specific I said TN,,,don't matter to me which side of TN though. The state itself gave birth to music history writers.

Harlepolis said:

I know that. I'm just saying, the person who you quoted probably mistake Nashville for Memphis or vice versa or whatever.

Timmy84 said:

Oops I MEANT Memphis ...sorry!!

I was thinking capital of the state and the history of Issac and wrote Nashville. My bad..thanks for correcting me Timmy!

1KissAtATyme said:

You're very welcome.

I love that song he has "Your Love Is So Doggone Good"....talk about one song to get busy too, and this song is the first I think about!!!!

From the strings to his smooth chocolate voice soothing those sexy words out.....

missfee said:

Wait, don't you mean, "Wonderful"? Which has the lyric "your love is so doggone goooood/so good"?

Timmy84 said:

Timmy84 said:

Timmy you are starting to become my new best friend on here. I know you have seen me go through my Temptations/Eddie Kendricks/David Ruffin, obsession this week and probably wondering "this chick must be heavy on the Tempts this week"...

missfee said:

Yeah, and I'm equally a fan of the Temptations as you are. Least the "classic 5" of Eddie, Paul, Otis, Melvin and David. LOL, I gotcha on Isaac's song, I have his greatest hits collection and I just thought you meant "Wonderful" which had the lyric to that title song.
