An LP a day - for no other reason than I love my records - No.86

[apologies for missing yesterday]

Issac Hayes. Joy

Before Barry White there was Isaac Hayes' gruff voice, albeit at a slower tempo. Hayed perfected long form slow funk, in some senses presaging rap with his spoken intros. This album is one of his best!

Standout track:

Joy - at 15mins the title track is worth the price of the LP alone; a classic Hayes sensuous masterclass in mesmerising funk; soooo groovy!
