Isaac Hayes
Hot Buttered Soul (1969)

I was home on a Saturday night and turned this album up very loud as I was playing it. There are only 4 songs on it - 2 on each side (if you can remember the days of vinyl), so the grooves are long and sexy. And it occurred to me that if it wasn't already appropriately titled Hot Buttered Soul, that it could've been called "Too Much Soul For Any One Human Being". Because it's too funky.

The next day my upstairs neighbor left a note for me under my door. Her note said this exactly: "Hello, I'm in 3B and I absolutely MUST know what that funky/piano/tribal/male vocal album was on Saturday night @ 10PM."

I've been buttering her buns ever since.
