Isaac Hayes

The Memphis soul label is the subject of the HBO Max documentary series, Stax: Soulsville U.S.A. We listen back to archival interviews with Stax musicians Steve Cropper, Booker T. and Isaac Hayes.

Hayes rose to the top of the charts in the 1970's on the Staxl record label. He released his first solo album, "Presenting Isaac Hayes," in 1968. His next album, "Hot Buttered Soul," became a gold record in the 1970's.
