Isaac Hayes, Black Moses, 1971 on Enterprise

This double LP was Hayes’ fifth studio album and was the follow-up to Shaft. Wonderful covers of “Never Can Say Goodbye” as well as “Close To You” and “I’ll Never Fall In Love Again.”

Reportedly the label exec Dino Woodward called Hayes “Black Moses.” The Bar-Kays are here on a few tracks, otherwise the band known as The Isaac Hayes Movement.

My copy is the 2024 reissue by Vinyl Me Please and Craft Recordings, on blue vinyl with listening notes by Andrew Winistorfer and a fold-out poster mimicking the original album cover gatefold in the shape of a cross.

He’s also the found of The Consortium MMT in Memphis, a non-profit that supports and mentors musicians.
