Rest in peace, Mr. Hayes. A true legend. And may I suggest that if you haven't heard Hot Buttered Soul, you do investigate. It's up there with Curtis Mayfield's Curtis, Stevie Wonder's Music Of My Mind/Talking Book/Innervisions Trilogy and Marvin Gaye's What's Going On and Let's Get It On as one of the great soul LPs of the era, and indeed one of the great LPs anyway. With it's twelve minute version of 'Walk On By' and nineteen minute version of 'By the Time I Get To Phoenix' it is a staggeringly great album. A true pioneer.
