Cut #3 says it all: "A Man will be a Man". Isaac Hayes, like contemporary Barry White, has the bass pipes to seduce the heartiest of women. Hayes is the master technician of romance on a disc that is expertly balanced with a powerful party jam (the fifteen-minute-plus title cut) and the remainder of the album, a collection of "bedroom ballads" that will more than likely get the female listener's attention in the most arousing of ways.

The "boys" that are populating today's R & B/hip-hop charts need to learn from one that knows exactly what women want and can convey his desires in a most passionate of musical wizardry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure vintage Isaac Hayes., August 13, 2009

This classic album should be considered a 1970s R&B essential. The chugging, bubbly, sensual mid-tempo title track remains one of Isaac's most compelling ballads and also foreshadows the Disco style which would take the world by storm just a few years later. "A Man Will Be A Man" and "I'm Gonna Make It Without You" were not released as singles but are pure vintage Hayes and are high points of this classic album. Nearly 40 years after its original release this album remains a true "Joy" to listen to.
