iTunes Review
Isaac Hayes closed out the first half of the ‘70s with two stellar soundtracks (Tough Guys and Truck Turner, both starring vehicles for Hayes) and returned to the pop scene with Chocolate Chip. The orchestral soul suites of Hot Buttered Soul and Black Moses had been among the great creations of the early '70s, but times were changing and Hayes was forced to change with them. His label wanted uptempo dance songs and Hayes obliged, giving them “Chocolate Chip” and “I Want to Make Love to You,” two disco-funk nuggets that made the Top 20. Hayes was creative enough to adapt to the disco era, but it’s a shame he felt the need for speed; no musician in history has grasped the power of slowness more than Hayes. Thankfully, Chocolate Chip offers “That Loving Feeling” and “Body Language,” songs with dance-floor beats, but Hayes slows them to a simmer. They're just as seductive as his early work, but much leaner, highlighting the percolating interplay of Hayes’ exemplary rhythm section — Erroll Thomas on bass and Willie Hall on drums.
Customer Reviews
Lost in the South Park Sauce
There's a couple of lost souls reviewing this record. Without any respect to his South Park paydays, this man WAS/IS/WILL BE what soul is about. Chocolate Chip may not be his greatest recording, but I'd encourage anyoneone interested in soul music to listen to "Black Moses" or "Hot Buttered Soul". Much respect.
He was the man!!
When I listen to Mr Hayes, my mind goes back to the 70,s when music was real.To all the viewers, that gaveMr Hayes a negative review, go back & listen to his early recordings. He was the man and still is. My favorite on on this cd, is "come live with me"
Got to disagree..
...with what sounds like the concensus of the other reviewers who are dismissing this album as one of Isaac's lesser works. Having been a big fan of this album since it came out in seventy-five, it has been a favorite of mine since, and while I have always enjoyed his reinterpretation of songs made popular by other artists, the writing on "Chocolate Chip" is strong and original. Don't listen to the critics of this album; if you enjoy Isaac Hayes' soulful rhythms, his progressions and arrangements...and, of course, that incomporable voice, you'll agree with me, not them. This is a great one for the price.
