Isaac Hayes, probably most famous for his ‘Theme From Shaft,’ and in later years as the voice of Chef from ‘South Park, released his sophomore album in 1969. His label, Stax Records, was in a bit of strife; their biggest artist, Otis Redding, had just died and they had lost their entire back catalogue to Atlantic Records. Executive Vice President, Al Bell, called for 27 albums from the various artists on the label.
