"I Thank You" is a song written by #DavidPorter and #IsaacHayes originally recorded by #SamAndDave, released in early 1968. The single was Sam & Dave's final release on #StaxRecords, reaching No. 9 on the #Billboard Pop singles chart and No. 4 on the #RAndB chart. Shortly after its release, Stax severed its distribution deal with #AtlanticRecords and Sam & Dave, who were actually signed to Atlantic and loaned out to Stax, began recording for Atlantic proper.

Who's Making Love by Johnnie Taylor, released in 1968 on Stax.
In 1968, Johnnie Taylor’s provocative single, “Who’s Making Love” gave the newly independent Stax Records its first major hit. The song peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and helped to bolster the label’s profile. The album Who’s Making Love was released months later, and not only featured the title track but also an irresistible collection of bluesy songs penned by Booker T. Jones, Bettye Crutcher, Steve Cropper and the inimitable team of Isaac Hayes and David Porter.

David Porter, . . . Into A Real Thing, 1971 on Enterprise
Porter was the staff songwriter for Stax – this was his second full length LP issued under his name, following up Gritty, Groovy, & Gettin’ It. Enterprise was a sub-label of Stax, which also released the early Isaac Hayes solo albums. (Apparently label president Al Bell was a Star Trek fan).
Wonderful early 70s Stax/Volt style funk/soul. Love that the green hat from the gatefold is also on the bed post in the rear cover. Isaac Hayes gets arranger and producer credit on “I Don’t Want To Cry.”
My copy is a 2023 Vinyl Me, Please Classics reissue, made by Craft Recordings, with lacquers cut by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound and a listening notes booklet by Andrew Winistorfer.

But you did, but you did and I thank you
You didn't have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did and I thank you”

Comin' to you on a dusty road
Good lovin'?
I got a truckload
And when you get it
You got something
So don't worry
Cuz I'm coming
I'm a Soul Man
That's what I got
The hard way
& I'll make it better
each & every day
So honey, don't you fret
Cuz you ain't seen nothin' yet
I'm a Soul Man
I was brought up on a side street
Listen now
I learned how to love
before I could eat
I was educated
from GOOD stock
When I start lovin'
Oh, I can't stop

Don't you ever be sad.
Lean on me when times are bad.
When the day comes
and you're down
in a river of trouble
and about to drown...
Just hold on, I'm comin'🏊🏻♀️
Hold on, I'm comin'🏊🏻♀️
I'm on my way, your lover.
If you get cold...
YEAH, I'll be your cover!
Don't have to worry cuz I'm here.
No need to suffer, baby,
cuz I'm near.
