Baddie Hayes
R.I.P. to Isaac Hayes. Most know him from South Park or even the theme from Shaft, but personally I think his greatest legacy is in the string of hits and non-hits he wrote and produced with David Porter while at the mighty soul label Stax. Their work with Sam and Dave, Carla Thomas, and her dad Rufus is justifiably famous, but they could even spin gold with lesser-known 45s like Jeanne & The Darlings’ “How Can You Mistreat The One You Love” from 1967. Just listen below and see if this hot little number doesn’t make ya wanna boogaloo. You’ll be missed, Isaac.
