The Look Of Love by Isaac Hayes from To Be Continued
Isaac Hayes made his initial mark as a writer of songs for other artists, particularly Sam and Dave, for whom he penned (along with David Porter) such smashes as “Hold On, I’m Comin'” and “Soul Man.” As a solo artist, however, Hayes specialized in placing his personal stamp on the work of other composers. This classic album, issued just before Christmas of 1970, finds Isaac Hayes working with the Bar-Kays, the Memphis Horns and the Memphis Symphony Orchestra applying his bedroom baritone voice and hot-buttered orchestral sound to tunes that had previously charted for Ruby and the Romantics (“Our Day Will Come”), Dusty Springfield and Sergio Mendes (“The Look of Love”), the Righteous Brothers (“You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin'”), and “Runnin’ Out of Fools” (Aretha Franklin). …To Be Continued became a No. 11 pop-charter for its multi-talented creator.

It's crazy that Childish Gambino said his song Redbone was inspired by Bootsy – I'd Rather Be with You. You can clearly hear it was this song. I think Glover owes the Hayes family some bread.
look in my eyes love of a lost Souljah letter cries/ heart Brocken to pieces tell the story why we apart/ question soul empty a rum bottle/lost the lust in my eyes when you speak from heart/clutch the claim switch lanes/ cross finger sword to God/ that never dies our love sink hole surface/ world watch it crystalize/ freeze the hand of time/ you the reason why I live to finish strong at all cost/ drum rolls trumpet blars/ Velvet
It said that good people arent liked, much less truly good things; speaking volumes of the line between quality & quantity, with the latter unnecessary.
I'm gonna make love to you womaaaan…
Seriously how did this not make it into South Park at some point?
The intro sounds like Frankie’s “If I Had You”
Classic
Jay Z

There's just about 2 minutes of instrumental genius. And then a one of one vocal. Can you imagine having been present during recording?
Ummm this should have over a million views by now smh
You gotta kick the volume & bass up at 4:25 and sit back while this jam takes you to another stratosphere! STILL a hit 30+ years later. #RIPIssacHayes
I never get tired of the bad ass change beginning at 4:25. The guitar is amazing, and the use of the horns as a kind of rhythm section.
Oooo ima smoove dude ! Lol
Hottest Intro ever!

Baby-makin' music for damn sure! As an aside, Burt Bacharach wrote this song.
The most sampled song in history
When music was music. Happy days.
Its like the guitar is singing.
Best version out there
Rain on Me & Wu-Tang brought me here.
There is nothing like This song for me…. This song speaks to so deeply to my fiber, to my inner being and hopefully to the woman of my dreams. . . Mp
wtf
