From his landmark album, Hot Buttered Soul in 1969, or the 1971 release of Shaft, right through to his later work like the 1998, Blue Brothers 2000 Movie Soundtrack and also his number 1 UK hit single Chocolate Salty Balls this man was a soul legend. In the last decade alone, Hayes’ work has gone on to be sampled nearly 200 times (officially, that is), on recordings by (among others) Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, DJ Quik, Ice Cube, Destiny’s Child, Tricky, Mase. Portishead, Yo-To, and the late TuPac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G.
