      That's because music used to have SOUL, that resonates in your own soul. The most popular artists these days literally don't have an soul, that's why it doesn't resonate in your own soul. If it does, then your soul is as corrupted as the artists which is really really corrupted.

    My name came from a Issac Hayes song. " Joy"!! I love my name because it has so much meaning. My Dad felt that Issac Hayes song Joy defined his love for my Mother. So I'm the result of "Joy". That's my name.😘

      Sorry to bother you, but I thought if you're a fan perhaps you know the title of a song I’m looking for. I wonder if it exists as a single piece on yt.
      In the A-Team episode titled The Heart of Rock n’Roll S04 E06 Isaac Hayes is singing this song and I fell in love with it. The lyrics and melody are pure perfection.
      I’ve written down the lyrics from hearing and ‘ve been googling them, I’ve been listening to his music available on yt but cannot find it -
      ‘what do you do when the one you love is gone
      how do you face each day all alone
      how do you smile when the pain is growing inside’
      I don't even know if it is one of his songs, it may be something he just sung in the A-Team.

    Man just play this cut while cruising in your ride.. Pick up your wife from after the office for a date , pull on up in front of the house with this track playing. Buzz the horn and she come on outside, hop in the ride and she says " What's this you got playing baby? It sounds so nice" and then you say to her "baby i'm playing just how I feel about you... Joy"

    The absolutely amazing, genius, splendid Isaac Hayes!!! This first 1 minute 15 seconds of the track "Joy" blows my mind every time. Such amazing orchestration from Isaac Hayes. Hayes's style of composition & arrangement was extremely original in its day & started a trend that was copied over & over by singers & songwriters in the 1970's. Isaac Hayes' music was sampled countless times by everyone in the world of Hip-Hop, a testament to the fact that not only did his music inform & inspire the hip-hop artists who came up years later, but that they also had fond memories of their parents & grandparents jamming the great Isaac Hayes's records, & as such they all wanted to pay him homage. On a musical note, the violins @ 0:26 - 0:57 are amazing - one can only imagine the look on the faces of the violinists on the date this was recorded when they saw Isaac Hayes' extremely long, 30 second crescendo. Only a first class group of violinists could pull of such a crescendo. "Joy" contains a crescendo to end ALL crescendos!
