6683. Isaac Hayes - Theme From The Men

-
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61H6hkLkGyL._SX522_.jpg
From: The Very Best of Isaac Hayes; Year: 2007 (1972); Genre: Soul/Funk
I don't know why, but just wanted to pick something from Isaac Hayes for today, which is the first Funky Friday of the New Year!
Isaac Hayes was a noted composer of not just regular music, but was quite prolific in the writing of television/film music; most famous would be the Theme From Shaft.
This one came from an umbrella/wheel series that lasted a single season, of course, titled: The Men. The series consisted of three drama/adventure shows on a similar theme and would weekly rotate. Whilst the show(s) did not fair well, Isaac Hayes' theme did become a hit for him and has been recorded by other artists in different genres since.

About My Song A Day Blog:

Okay, What is this "Song a Day Blog?" Well, this is a hobby of mine that I have been at for over 18 years now, (since September First, 2007), in which I set aside a few minutes every day to create my ultimate playlist in a diary form, if you will. I try to add a different song each day and share with those who are interested as to why I like the song and the artist that performed it and/or maybe some facts about them. Myself, along with a few others, (the couple others who still remain active), have taken it upon themselves to create and maintain these song-a-day blogs; I highly recommend the other blogs that are linked to in the "Other Blogs I Follow and Find Interesting:" list below.  I have also provided links to the blogs that have gone dormant for one reason or another in the same list as well. Hope you enjoy!
