Isaac Hayes : Walk On By
Isaac Hayes began his recording career in the
early 1960s, as a session player for various acts of the
Memphis-based Stax Records. He later wrote a string of hit
songs with songwriting partner David Porter, including "You
Don't Know Like I Know", "Soul Man", "When Something Is Wrong
with My Baby", and "Hold On I'm Comin" for Sam and
Dave.
Hayes, Porter and Stax studio band Booker T. & the MGs
were also the producers for Sam & Dave, Carla Thomas and
other Stax artists during the mid-1960s.
Hayes-Porter contributed to the Stax sound made famous
during this period, and Sam & Dave credited Hayes for
helping develop both their sound and style.
