Released in 1970, it was the follow-up to Hot Buttered Soul, Hayes' landmark 1969 album.

Similar in structure to Hot Buttered Soul, The Isaac Hayes Movement features only four long tracks, all with meticulous, complex and heavily orchestrated arrangements.

However, unlike the previous album, this time all four songs are reworked covers of others' material.

This includes Jerry Butler's "I Stand Accused", which features a nearly five-minute long spoken intro that precedes the actual song, and The Beatles' "Something", which features violin soloing by John Blair.

Stax Records reissued The Isaac Hayes Movement in SACD format in 2004.
