Isaac Hayes (1975) That Loving Feeling
An intoxicating and subtle piece from Isaac Hayes it is superior to the better known Shaft Theme that he is known for. The last great singer from Stax records Hayes brought together a darker more palpable emotion to his songs like the flip side to Barry White's sensual songs. Best known for being in the popular French film La Haine where the song was used to score a scene of drug taking it is a hypnotic song that pulls you in with its flights of synths, strings and that incredible bass line. It reminds me of a soulful rendition of Led Zeppelins Kashmir in how it builds it's layered design.
