It's Black music month and this spotlight is on my fellow Memphis homeboy, Issac Hayes. Issac was instrumental in the 1960's music scene hailing from Memphis.Tn. He wrote the song 'Soul Man' sung by Sam and Dave among many others.

His best known song may very well be 'Theme From Shaft' from the early 1970's. He was a 2002 inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

But my favorite song from him is 'I Stand Accused' especially the long version. Issac passed away in 2008 in Memphis.

I miss him to this day. Enjoy my favorite Issac Hayes song as tribute for Black Music Month here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBCJ0bS3YFY
