The legendary Isaac Hayes was more than just "Shaft". He was more than just a staple of Stax Records or the hip hop sample we heard in between the beats. Isaac Hayes' music represented every black neighborhood in America. From the the ghettos of Los Angeles to the borough's of New York, Black Moses told tales of love, black pride and promise. He was true Blackness personified through music.
If you have Netflix, I highly recommend watching the documentary Wattstax (1973). It's Chappelle's Block Party except they replaced Dave with Richard Pryor.
