Swoon Crooner. Founding Father of Sweet Soul. Black Moses.

A member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Songwriter's Hall of Fame and the Georgia Music Hall of Fame, the part-time Atlanta resident recently sat down with Georgia Public Broadcasting Senior Correspondent Susan Hoffman to talk about his life and career.

Great moderation Susan. Thank you for telling Mr. Hayes story,. His joy made the whole interview captivating. You are a pro and Isaac Hayes is even more epic. My Mama would play his music and it was not my jam. When I saw him on Rockford Files I sat on the edge of my seat. Shaft Theme an sound track is iconic.

The interviewer was horrid.

[@nicktheus7629]

This interviewer was sort of condescending… I just didn’t like her style!

[@Bea12341000]

I watched the whole thing. She is a great interviewer and the opposite of what you are implying.
