The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Isaac Hayes
- If you enjoy the fragrance of a rose, you must accept the thorns which it bears.
- At the end of the day, we are responsible for our own lives. If anything happens to us, don’t blame somebody else. Backtrack and look at what you did to contribute to that. You also contribute to your successes. Once you learn that, you’re on your way.
- I love soul. But I love a tune that has some meat in it. Something I could hang my hat on. Because music is universal.
- I don’t sit back and count up what I’ve done. There’s just always something else to do. There’s always a challenge ahead.
- Have you ever wondered why young people take to music like fish to water? Maybe it’s because music is fun. Plan and simple. It opens up their minds to dream great dreams about where they can go and what they can do when they get older.
- I always keep my head down, working, doing things, moving forward. That’s what I’ve done all my life. Then you stop and realize what you’ve done.
- A certain administration which I won’t call by name took the arts out of the schools, and that left the brothers out on the street with nothing, so they went to the turntables and started rhyming. Then they had a way to express themselves, and that’s the birth of hip-hop.
- There is a place in this world for satire, but there is a time when satire ends and intolerance and bigotry towards religious beliefs of others begins. Religious beliefs are sacred to people and at all times should be respected and honored. As a civil rights activist of the past 40 years, I cannot support a show that disrespects those beliefs and practices.
- Don’t slip into the traps, and don’t forget about your ‘hood, the kids in the ‘hood. Remember, you’re disposable, so take advantage while you can.
- Religious beliefs are sacred to people, and at all times should be respected and honoured.
Isaac Hayes was an American singer, songwriter, composer, and actor, celebrated as one of the most influential figures in soul music. He was born on August 20, 1942, in Covington, Tennessee, and grew up in poverty before pursuing a career in music.
Hayes rose to prominence at Stax Records in the 1960s as a songwriter and producer, co-writing hits like “Soul Man” and “Hold On, I’m Comin’” for Sam & Dave.
As a solo artist, Hayes revolutionized soul with his deep baritone voice, lush orchestration, and extended compositions. His 1969 album Hot Buttered Soul became a landmark in modern R\&B. He achieved worldwide fame with the Theme from Shaft (1971), which earned him an Academy Award and two Grammys.
Beyond music, Hayes acted in films and voiced Chef on South Park. Until his passing in 2008, he remained a pioneering force whose legacy shaped soul, funk, and hip-hop.
