 notes:

Released in 1969, Hot Buttered Soul transformed soul music forever 
and established Isaac Hayes as one of the most innovative artists of his
 generation. Issued on Enterprise Records with catalog number ENS 1001, 
this groundbreaking LP blended orchestral arrangements, deep grooves, 
spoken-word passages, and extended reinterpretations of contemporary
 songs into a completely new soul experience.
At a time when most soul albums focused on short radio-friendly tracks,
 Isaac Hayes expanded the format with long, cinematic performances full of
 emotion and atmosphere. The album became a defining release of 
the Memphis soul movement and helped shape the future of funk, 
R&B, and orchestral soul.
