Subject: RE: Obit: Isaac Hayes, R&B legend - Aug 2008
In New Orleans, on the same day, I saw Fats Domino, Allen Toussaint and Isaac Hayes play live. What a day - each of them changed R&B, quite significantly in their time and to see them all live was mind blowing.

Isaac was great but his band only had 'fake' horns and strings, via keyboards. Not the same at all.

But a good guy, great songwriter and producer and the chucka-chucka of 'Shaft' will probably be around forever.
