Isaac Hayes's Biography
In Memphis, his five-hour nightly radio shift on WRBO Soul Classics 103.5 FM is still the #1-rated show in town in its third year on the air. The city has taken to a new slogan: "Memphis: Home of the Blues, Birthplace Of Rock 'n Roll," underscored by the Smithsonian's Memphis Rock 'n Soul Museum just off Beale Street, the institution's first permanent exhibition outside Washington, DC, and New York. On May 2nd, Hayes presided over the opening day ceremonies of Soulsville, the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, a $20 million redevelopment project. It is located at a legendary address, 926 East McLemore Avenue, the revitalized original site of the record company where Hayes got his start in 1962. He has also been an integral fundraiser (and consciousness raiser) on behalf of the Stax Music Academy next door, a facility where he and others will develop and teach future Memphis musicians.
Back on 'RBO, you're likely to hear a number from one of the stars of Only The Strong Survive (Miramax), which premiered on May 9th, D.A. Pennebaker's documentary film tribute to Hayes and his contemporaries including Sam Moore (of Sam & Dave), Rufus & Carla Thomas, Jerry Butler, William Bell, Wilson Pickett, and others. Stay tuned and you might hear a track from Isaac Hayes At Wattstax (Stax/Fantasy), an hour-long CD of unreleased music from 1972's historic concert movie event. The new CD was issued in April in advance of the 30th anniversary restoration of the film which opened on June 6th, Wattstax - The Special Edition (Sony Pictures Repertory). It was just three years ago when the new Shaft movie soundtrack was released, featuring Hayes' "Shaft 2000" theme, on the eve of the 30th anniversary of the granddaddy of Blaxploitation films.
