Jason EganMac & Hayes...The End of Days.
August 11th 2008 12:42
Isaac Hayes was a pioneer of soul music in the 70's and was an Academy Award and Grammy winner. It is said he was rapping before Flavour Flav was wearing nappies and his deep, sexy voice gave The Theme from Shaft the gravitas it needed to take home an Oscar. While a cultural icon in America (he was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in 2002) his popularity soared in Australia with his voicing of 'Chef' on South Park. Chef was a cool dude, and his swinging laid back lifestyle was the envy of many young men. I can remember asking many if they'd 'seen my balls, they're big and salty n' round'. From the 1970's he took part in many Tv shows and movies, always adding something cool to every character he played, be it The Duke from one of my favourite movies, Escape from New York, to Asneeze in Robin Hood: Men in Tights. He too will be missed, 65 is still too young, although having 12 kids probably didn't help!
