Isaac Lee Hayes, Jr. (August 20, 1942 – August 10, 2008) was an American soul and funk singer-songwriter, musician, record producer, arranger, composer and actor. Hayes was one of the main creative forces behind southern soul music label Stax Records, where he served as both an in-house songwriter and producer with partner David Porter during the mid-1960s.

Alongside his work in popular music, Hayes was a film score composer for motion pictures. His best known work, for the 1971 blaxploitation film Shaft, earned Hayes an Academy Award for Best Original Song (the first Academy Award received by an African-American in a non-acting category) and two Grammy Awards. He received a third Grammy for the album Black Moses.

MTP "Lengends Series" VOL. 3 - A Great Day In Hip Hop (1998)



This is a documentary of "A Great Day In Hip Hop". A day in which over 200 Hip Hop GREATS assembled in Harlem to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Art Kane's famous photo of jazz greats such as Dizzy Gillespie, Charles Mingus, Count Basie, Thelonious Monk and Lester Young. It also honored the innovators of Hip Hop that have impacted popular culture as jazz did in its heyday. The Picture and documentary was taken on September 29, 1998. The original shot of the Jazz Legends was taken sometime in 1958. Its tht 50th year anniversary of the 1st shoot!

Artists came from near and far, representing the past, present and future of Hip Hop music. A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Jermaine Dupri, Canibus, Fat Joe, Da Brat, Wyclef, Pras, Kool Herc, Grand Master Flash, Onyx, E-40, Mack 10, Crucial Conflict, Run-DMC, Slick Rick, Goodie MOB, Luke, Kool Moe Dee, Heather B, Paula Perry, members of Wu Tang Clan, Goodie Mob, Mos Def, Talib Kweli etc. were all present. Icons met icons who turned out to also be fans. It was a lot of people that really wasnt big yet that was there in the background just in shock of the legends. Notably Mos Def. He was one of the newcomers invited for this historic day.

Btw, make sure you watch all 3 parts.
