from Low-Noise · host Low Noise
A (relatively) in-depth analysis of American singer, songwriter, composer, and actor Isaac Hayes Jr. in (just over) forty five minutes - this is the longest Low-Noise episode to date, which seems rather fitting as Hayes is known for his lengthy musical compositions.As a successful in-house songwriter, session musician and producer, Hayes was one of the creative forces behind Stax Records in the 1960s. With his working partner David Porter he wrote the Sam & Dave hit Soul Man, widely considered to be one of the most influential songs of all time. Hayes also had a successful solo career - he released several successful albums such as Hot Buttered Soul (1969) and Black Moses (1971). Hayes also worked as a film composer.In 1997 Hayes was introduced to a new generation of fans when he provided the voice for the character of 'Chef' in the animated TV series South Park. The show ran until 2006.In this episode I am in discussion with Bhoke.Mathew Woodallhttps://www.facebook.com/share/1F15mx4ea3/https://buymeacoffee.com/lownoiseWhy buy me a coffee?Low Noise is proudly ad-free.
