"But when you worked for it and paid your dues, you're entitled to get what you want It's that simple." The cars, clothes and homes have not changed him, he in sists. "I am still the same Isaac Hayes I was, still the same guy," said Hayes, whose ghetto friends call him "Bubba." "The wealth thing hasn't changed me at all.

It only makes me more grateful feel more blessed that I was able to overcome." In 31 years, Hayes has come from a shack near Covington in the cotton lands of West Tennessee, where he sang a capella on his front porch, to the upper echelon of entertainment His mother died when he was IVt years old and his father left him and an older sister to the care of his grandparents on a tenant farm. When Hayes was 7, his grandparents moved to Memphis to look for work. In 1949, when Hayes started school, he found out he was poor. "In the country we were just like everybody else," he said. "We raised our own food, killed our hogs.

Now a wealthy man, Hayes looks back on his days of poverty and says the charity he received as a child "made me want to do something to get myself out of that situation and never look back at it again." He Is angered at critics who measure him only by how he spends his money by the three homes, including a $460,000 mansion in fashionable east Memphis; by the fleet of luxury cars, including a $45,000 velvet-lined Cadillac, and by the small army of employes he takes on tour. "Everything I have, I find it quite necessary," said Hayes, a bald, soft-voiced giant who gave his Academy Award to his grandmother, "Mama Wade," for her 80th birthday. "People say, 'Why so many cars, why so many houses, who do you think you are, Black Moses, hiring all those people do you think you are Hayes says.
