Isaac Hayes

June 12th The first concert in the Celebrate Brooklyn series was tonight and featured soul singer Isaac Hayes. Although he is now in his sixties his voice sounded as rich and smooth as ever! He got a big audience response when he sang his big hits `Walk on by' `Do your thing' `Shaft' `Never can say goodbye' and `Joy'. He ended with a great version of Little Milton's `The blues is alright'. The band were great and had a full sound with horns and backing singers. Isaac played keyboard most of the time but played sax on one or two numbers. Unfortunately less than two months after this concert his life ended at age 65.
