AUDIO: Isaac Hayes (1995)

Ira Robbins, Rock's Backpages audio, 6 May 1995

Hayes talks about "Skip" Pitts, who played wah-wah guitar on 'Theme from Shaft'; about how modern R&B has become too explicit and how it was more subtle in his day; about his film and TV work, including In Living Color; about the day he shaved off his hair in 1964, and how he pretended to be Booker T. Jones; about moving back to Memphis from Atlanta; about his roots in the southern Baptist church and how he become a Scientologist.
