Isaac Hayes on YouTube and DailyMotion

I thought posting a collection of some of my favorite Isaac YouTube and DailyMotion clips was in order so here we go:

Up first we have a splendid performance of his legendary cover of Bacharach and David's "Walk On By" from 1969:



A killer live performance of another classic Bacharach-David tune, "The Look of Love" from 1973:



Another clip from 73, this time a performance of "Never Can Say Goodbye":



A spirited 1997 performance of "Don't let Go", the song which Isaac opened with when I saw him several years ago:



An incredibly rare clip of "Disco Connection":
