Never Can Say Goodbye - Isaac Hayes

ISAAC HAYES WEEK: Never can say goodbye..... more mature than the original version by the Jackson 5, less danceable than the covers by Gaynor and the Communards, meditative and tailored for the expressive voice of brother Isaac...... From here, a certain Barry White would take more than one cue to launch a career characterized by the aforementioned deep voice and "chamber" (bedroom) soul, more commercial than the original and increasingly distant from the communicative art of the soul music that our man so passionately pursued.
