Hey, everyone. “Moriarty” here. For many younger viewers, Isaac Hayes will forever be SOUTH PARK’s Chef, a role he played with a delicious disconnect for many seasons before he finally left the show under a could of controversy because of his connection to Scientology. The episode after he left didn’t just kill his character... it destroyed him. They did everything short of dropping a nuclear bomb on him. Considering how long they’d worked with him, I was always a little shocked by the vehemence with which they wrote him off the show. I’ll bet today makes that episode harder to watch for Matt and Trey than ever. Isaac Hayes is one of those guys whose life ...

Wow. When it rains, it pours, and tomorrow’s going to be a Stormy Monday, indeed. This weekend we’ve lost two legends of black entertainment — Bernie Mac on Saturday, and soul legend Isaac Hayes today. The 65 year old soul legend was found unconscious next to a still-running treadmill. He was pronounced dead at 2:08 this afternoon.
Long before he was Chef on South Park, Isaac Hayes shaped the history of American music. As a session player for Stax Records, he co-wrote songs like Soul Man, and When Something Is Wrong With My Baby for Sam and Dave. (Oh how I ...

In the clip posted below a super sexy Isaac Hayes performs his Oscar winning theme song for Shaft at the Wattstax music festival in 1973. Wattstax is also one of my favorite concert films and if you haven’t had the opportunity to see it yet, do yourself a favor a give this important documentary look.

[image] How come all the cool brothas keep dying? In just 24 hours Bernie Mac died of Pneumonia (he was only 50) and Isaac Hayes was found dead in his home next to a treadmill. Both losses were sudden and unexpected, but since this is a music blog I will choose to focus on Mr. Hayes' too short life. Most people remember Isaac Hayes as the man who created one of the greatest movie soundtracks of all time, Shaft . In 1972 his work on the Shaft soundtrack earned him the Academy Award for Best Song and three Grammys, as well as the #1 album and song ("Theme From Shaft ") on the Billboard charts. While ...
Remembering Isaac Hayes
Music: Music blog | guardian.co.uk —
Isaac Hayes Ain't no sunshine when he's gone: Isaac Hayes. Photograph: Michael Ochs Archives/Getty I once met Isaac Hayes, who died yesterday , at a new music showcase in London about five years ago. Hayes was the special guest introducing the various fledgling acts. After the show, I spotted him at the bar and plucked up the courage to ask him for an autograph - something I have only done about five times in my life. As it tends to when you meet your heroes, time slowed down to a comical pace. Hayes grinned down at me as I spelt my name for him. Then he opened his mouth. With the trademark baritone growl well known to both Stax and Southpark ...

Pitchfork Media - Today —
Isaac Hayes, who passed away this weekend, may be best known to some for playing Chef and scoring Shaft, and no disrespect whatsoever to South Park and wakka-chikka guitars, but his legacy extends much deeper than that. Shortly after graduating from high school, he started working at Stax Records in Memphis, where, as a member of the Mar-Keys, he played sax and keys on many of the label's biggest hits, including much of Otis Redding's discography. With David Porter, he co-wrote numerous hits, including "Soul Man", "When Something Is Wrong with My Baby", "Hold On! I'm Comin'" (this is how it's ...
