          What can one say? I hope his fabulous work on South Park introduced this gifted entertainer to a whole new generation.

          You will be missed.

            12 years ago I bet my roommate $25 bux that Chef was Barry White. The next day I went & took $20 outta the bank machine, gave it to him and said, "That's all you're getting!" lol

              "I Stand Accused" of loving the Isaac Hayes movement! Such a voice! Such a talent! I remember seeing him in the early days of his career, singing before a sell out crowd in a pair of flesh colored, enarly see through tights and a gold chain! The women went wild!!

              Those were the wild and wonderful sixties! Wonder what his next gig will be....God speed, Isaac! Condolences to his family.

                Scientologists apparently believe in reincarnation - the spirit takes another human form. Best of luck with that Isaac! It's sad when a man's beliefs deserve to be mocked but there has to be a threshold for the non-sensical at some point. So strange what people will turn to out of desperation. Not that most organized religion has validity but this is the work of sci-fi writer for crying out loud. The Bible looks positively factual compared to this pile of rubbish.

                      Sad to see chef leave us. He'll be missed by the new generation that were introduced to his talent via chef. RIP Chef.

                            Hayes was way ahead of his time. Brought much class and finesse to Black soul music. Shaft goes down in music history as a all time classic. He was the first black man to win an Oscar for a musical score. Also for a great read check out "A Step Into Deliverance" by T. Pugh. It's a riveting autobiography and a real page-turner.
