The Isaac Hayes Movement is the third studio album by the American soul musician Isaac Hayes.
 Released in 1970, it was the follow-up to "Hot Buttered Soul", Hayes' landmark 1969 album.
 Marvell Thomas had come up with "The Isaac Hayes Movement" as a name for Hayes' backup ensemble.
 He modeled the name after the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
 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.
 The other two songs included on the album were the Bacharach-David song, "I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself" and Chalmers and Rhodes' "One Big Unhappy Family".

The Pearl is a novella by American author John Steinbeck, first published in 1947.
 It is the story of a pearl diver, Kino, and explores man's nature as well as greed, defiance of societal norms, and evil.
 Steinbeck's inspiration was a Mexican folk tale from La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico, which he had heard in a visit to the formerly pearl-rich region in 1940.
 In 1947, it was adapted into a Mexican film named "La perla" and in 1987 into a cult Kannada movie "Ondu Muttina Kathe".
 The story is one of Steinbeck's most popular books and has been widely used in high school classes.
 "The Pearl" is sometimes considered a parable.

 While living in the house, Steinbeck wrote "The Grapes of Wrath" and completed "Of Mice and Men".
 The Steinbecks added a guest house to the property after the house's completion; renowned actors, literary agents, and friends of the Steinbecks stayed in the guest house while visiting the couple.
 In 1938, the Steinbecks left the house, as they felt that its location was no longer as secluded as it had been two years earlier.
