"Soul Men" Soundtrack featuring The Bo-Keys released Nov 4th by Stax
The soundtrack to the film Soul Men, featuring Yellow Dog artist The Bo-Keys, and staring Bernie Mac, Samuel L. Jackson, and a cameo by the late music icon Isaac Hayes, will be released Nov 4th by Stax Records.
Music naturally plays an integral part of Soul Men, particularly poignant with the appearance of Stax legend Isaac Hayes whose passing on August 10 was mourned worldwide. The 1968 No. 1 UK pop hit, Private Number (originally recorded by William Bell & Judy Clay) is given a solid makeover by soul singer/songwriter and musician Chris Pierce and Leela James accompanied by The Bo-Keys (whose line-up includes famed Stax musicians Willie Hall and Charlie Pitts).
