Isaac Hayes 1977-1982 stint on Polydor had him often doing strong work that
differed from both his efforts at Enterprise and ABC. By the late 70s, Hayes had
refined and updated his sound and stopped recording in Memphis. Although this
albums predecessor, New Horizon, wasnt a big seller, it certainly helped him
adapt to the changing musical landscape. In turn, Dont Let Go has Hayes even
more confident and comfortable with his new sound. The title track has Roy
Hamiltons jaunty classic all but unrecognizable with Hayes propulsive and expert
disco take. With pushy horns, cooing background girls, and his subdued vocal, he
effortlessly attained discos sense of fun. The songs insouciance seemed to rub
off on the rest of this album. What Does It Take has Hayes steaming it up with
help from a high-pitched bassline and a subtle buzzing guitar. On the best
ballad here, the teasing Few More Kisses to Go, Hayes plays the pathway to
adulthood as waits for his precious moment, singing girls gonna be a full-grown
woman, before this night is through. The best tracks on this album have Hayes
infallible sense of melody, but there are a few duds. His disco version of Fever
comes off a little desperate and pointless. The last track, Someone Who Will
Take the Place of You, is a good angry ballad, but clocking in at ten-and-a-half
minutes, its a little too much of a good thing. Dont Let Go is Hayes most
successful effort for Polydor.
