Isaac Hayes - Hyperbolicsyllablecsesquedalymistic

https://youtu.be/ziKbBLUvv9Y

Was never a fan of Isaac's own music, assumed they were all film soundtrack style or very smoochy, until recently noticed this on youtube and was intrigued by the extremely long, one word title and WOW! Never expected what I heard. Absolutely Fantastic.
From his Hot Buttered Soul album.

Another track is equally good but very different style: "One Woman"
The other 2 tracks are in the style I had assumed all his music to be in.

YES; This is what made Isaac Hayes' Hot Buttered Soul, and his follow up LPs in the early '70s, the breakthroughs that they were. He ran the gamut from lush orchestral epics & extended monologues to deep funk grooves like "Hyperbolicsyllabicseqdalymistic".

Sometimes Isaac did overdo the lush production, in my opinion, but he did come up with some excellent funk tracks as well.

Saw this Isaac track on Youtube and bought the CD which was very cheap. One thing I find strange though is I cannot find it being released anywhere other than on this Compilation CD. Notes show songs on the CD recorded at a number of different studios.
