"Chocolate Chip" is the seventh studio album by American soul musician Isaac Hayes. It was released in 1975 by ABC Records through Hayes' own imprint, Hot Buttered Soul Records, marking Hayes' first release after leaving the then-financially troubled Stax label. The album was Hayes's segue into the emerging disco scene and featured horns and layered beats, while maintaining his traditional soulful vocals. Chocolate Chip garnered two top 20 singles and was Hayes's last hit album in the 1970s. ~Wikipedia~ A fine mid-'70s album on which Isaac Hayes adapted to the disco era. His productions were already ideal for dance floors, and he now updated his charts to include some stomping segments with horns and layered beats, while maintaining his soulful vocals on both up-tempo tunes and ballads. This album got two Top 20 hits for Hayes and was his last really big hit album in the '70s. ~Review by Ron Wynn~ Release of this album: 1975, June [LP ABC Records, Cat.# ABCD-874, USA] Release of this HDtracks edition: 2016 [Label: Stax Records] (p)(c) 2016 Concord Music Group, Inc.
