Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1971, R&B, Soul, Memphis, Tennessee
Matrix #: ENS-2-5002
Condition: VG+

Cultural Facts:

  1. Media Narrative: Became a defining Blaxploitation-era statement, with Hayes winning an Oscar, shifting soul artists into film scoring and mainstream cultural power.

  2. Scene Ecology: Built out of the Stax Records system, where tight studio bands and in-house production created a distinct Memphis identity against Motown’s polish.

  3. Personal Struggle: Hayes later faced financial collapse and filed for bankruptcy in 1976, losing much of what he built during his peak success years.
