The Best Parts of Songs

Today, I’m inviting you guys, my rabid fan base to comment on what you think is the best part of this classic 11 min long Isaac Hayes mega jam.

You’ve got 3 choices:

1) the Intro at 0:10:
It sets the mood and pace for the whole track, when the horns hit, you can’t help nod your head, and, it’s the most identifiable part of the song.

Sampled by Snoop Dogg for Gz Up, Hoes Down

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

2) The interlude at 1:20
Finally the track opens up after a heavy intro, give the horns some!

Sampled by Jay Z for Can I Live

3) jazzcat moment at 9:01
This part isn’t even the end, there’s still a super reverby rehash of the intro at the 10 minute mark.

Sampled by Smif N Wessun for Stand Strong

Whad’ya say, vote below or in the comments or @ me...maybe I should have included the 4 min. guitar solo from 4:00 – 8:00?

Thanks for playing along, this is a great tune for the ages.

From …To Be Continued, released through Stax Records, 1970.
