the best music of the 70`s, 80`s, & 90`s Isaac, was born in rural poverty on august 20, 1942
in covington, Tennessee, about thirty miles south of Memphis.
Isaac and his sister willette were raised by their maternal grandparents, Willie and Rushia Addiemae
Wade,Isaac grandparents instilled a love for the simple pleasures of country life,
Isaac, mention that they raised most of their food such as ,cattle, pig`s,
They ground corn at the grist mill and made molasses at the sorghum mill, a sack of flour would
last several mouths,
For Isaac, Memphis was supposed to represent new opportunity,
As a 7-year old he saw his first supermarket and enjoyed his first popsicle,
Isaac, grandfather health failed after finding work in a tomato factory he became disabled
when Isaac, was 11, his grandfather died,
That`s when the family really fell on hard times, To make ends meet Isaac started doing agricultural
work like picking cotton,Ironically his stately home in east Memphis looks out over those same fields
where cotton grew for nearly two centuries,As a youngster he would run errands, cut lawns, deliver
groceries and wood , Cleaned bricks for two cents apiece, and even shined shoes on Beale street
to help make ends meet, Isaac finally graduated at age 21 from high school class of 1962,
By this time Isaac had won seven college scholarships for vocal music which he chose not to pursue,
Instead, he became adept enough at the piano to land a job with baritone saxophnist bandlearder
Stax sessions and tracks than any other musician,
Isaac Lee Hayes Jr. was an american songwriter musician, singer, actor,and voice actor. Isaac,
was one of the creative influences behind the southern soul music label stax records,
