SHAFT. One if not the best theme music ever,

Everybody recognises instantly at the first few bars.. Writers take note lessons can be learned.

[ogrodark]

Grande Chef..

[shagingmaster35]

[dragonkidlvlx]

RIP. :(

[n1ckhalo]

bye bye chef we miss you

[MowgliX]

This man was a great genius. One of the greatest musicians and songwriters ever. Absolutely. I think his music was there in the background every other days or so on the radio in the mornings in our kitchen when I was a little kid, because I have always had a particular love for that kind of music. The songs are just timeless, just right, so great.

[unsinckabletitanic]

@aruizdonatoable he died of cardiact arrests and then a stroke

[TheRookie217]

Who thats wierd, 2 year sago first Bernie Mac died on 8/9 on Saturday, and then Isaac Hayes died on 8/10 on Sunday. OMG Time goes by fast and these men will b e missed

[onenonlyprincess2]

RIP chef

[djkells3]

so sad =[

[pharoahsoulero]

thought isaac woulda reached a ton no problem, he was a bull of a man

[EMCEMITCH]

i once ran into him at newark airport and his warmth and humility exuded from him as he shook my hand and said hey brother how you doin?

[dvlaries]

"Live at the Sahara Tahoe" was one of the best albums of the 70s and I still own it. Hayes' stuff was incredible, and it never should have stopped, but his 'quiet storm' soul was soon at odds with rising disco by mid-decade. Nor was he was the only great R&B not suited to that style. It took many a casualty. He is missed but his marvelous material will continue to mint new fans looking for substance in music, craftsmanship and, yes, even genius. R.I.P.

[guyfawkesistaken]

@nickgers1 Shut the fuck up. :/

[jengafett1]

ImrIyawesome you a dum shit u r a wast aof space u rasist fuck

[gorance2000]

no more chef ;(

[kensley94]

@killbillrules To bad that he was stopped with southpark.He was stopping because southpark was making fun of his relligion in the episode scientology,so that was not cool man,otherwise he could continue until mid 2008

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

"Good-bye, children." Farewell.

[kensley94]

@MrFrankandShane 

[b42baritone]

The latest Rolling Stone magazine of the top 500 songs of all time. Isaac Hayes song Shaft is NOT on the list!!! That magazine does not know music if its bites them in the A**.

[bluesingroove]

@b42baritone ROlling Stone mag is a joke, man. :) you're totally right... that tune is TOO iconic to not be included

[MooseOnDrums]

[sk8s4MCR]

goodbye children

[lversonAllDaWay]

RIP Chef!

[jazzalex22]

Nobody could beat Issac Hayes in soul music. He was the best ever. He wrote most of my favorite songs like Soul Man, Who's Making Love, Soul Girl, Knock on Wood, Hold On I'm Comin', I Thank You, Disco Lady and so much more. He was the best. Too bad he had a heart attack.

[Okitsin]

too bad Scientology scrambled his brains....

[TheSHEERHEARTATTACK]

WHY!!!!!!!!!!!1111

[Farfallevendetta1234]

@Okitsin yeah sad

[SuperBuckProductions]

[kpbriann]

[2short2q]

Bad news.'Hot Buttered Soul' was an awesome album. When I was in the army,

black or white we all loved it.

[bubblejomay]

@2short2q Wow, you were in the army when this came out? So was I. Were you in 'nam. Well I dodged a bullit I got out of 'nam and was sent to Panama just before my two life long buddies who were there with me went up on hill 937 for those who don't know hamburger hill. This was '69. Oh by the was this was the first R&B album in history to go platnum, that's right Sir Issac set the standard, Not Michael Jackson, May they both R.I.P

[JimmyChiffels]

Scientologist killed him. He was a scientologist

[GiacomoKnox]

That was a tough weekend. Bernie Mac, then "Black Moses" almost immediately afterward

[bubblejomay]

@GiacomoKnox Acutally the next day, what a bummer.

[Hounsfield]

waaaaaaaaaaaa south park made fun of my cult

[14921960]

Issac Hayes was a great musical innovator as evidenced in his marvelously inventive "Hot Buttered Soul" album featuring his unique takes on pop standards "Walk on By" and "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" and his original funky tunes. His soundtrack for the film "Shaft" was full of hyper energy and hyper rhythm. The music world will greatly miss him.

[CuxNavigator]

a great men - and Rock n Roll in my heart......

I Will Always Love You......

[sonicblastj]

Yeah fuck you ImrIyawesome!

[PachucoMudo]

[MrRichardKraniun]

@ImrIyawesome thats not what your daddy said about Isaac Hayes when he watched him shove his 12 inch black cock in your mothers fat ass and your sisters tonsil free throat three years before he died?

[gumbypiz]

I don't think we'll ever realize what we & the world are going to miss without this great performer here. His music just stands so tall above the others. Rest in Peace, rest in peace man.

[Roodoo]

A true original. Irreplaceable.

[1peoplesun]

PEACE AND LOVE X

[BlkVodka316]

R.I.P. Chef, no chef=no South park...!

[rinsemanmc]

[Hounsfield]

[pintadopedro]

Chef: "I wanna make love to you"

That always cracks me up.

RIP Isaac Hayes

[ChainShut]

Hope your family have a peace of eternity! R.I.P Isaac Hayes a.k.a Chef from southpark

[aha45]

I watched him on a Conan rerun last night, and I honestly had forgotten what happened.

[hellraiza81]

R.I.P. Isaac

[Sature1985]

COS killed him

[960515]

Sature1985 The COS did not kill him he had a stroke at his home

[roguetrip99]

So much for Chef coming back...

[Shaft2009]

Isaac Hayes, you gave the black world a theme to remeber for many decades to come. Your existence has enriched the world, thank you for enriching my world with your creation.

R.I.P. Brother man

[goodall77]

I wonder who is next they all seem to be Obama supporters it's the MAN!

[Nectius]

Nooo not chef!!!

Take it there gonna cancel SP or find a new voice actor :[

[gnrldisarray]

He quit the show a couple years ago after they had the Trapped in the Closet episode mocking Scientologists

[guntom22]

Isaac Hayes already Left South park about 1 and a half years ago.

[LYNDOSE26]

RIP SHAFT

[hellraiza81]

Isaac sung the theme song to shaft, but he didn't play shaft. Richard Rountree was shaft. I think it was richard roundtree.

[IcedLipGloss]

OMFG! i never knew this guys name was isac hayes...im sittin here thinkin issac hayes is some old dude but i never knew this was him...wow

[BrettHoustonTube]

They killed Chef, "You bastards'!

[rawdeluxe07]

[HollywoodPlaya1]

There was never another chef. Hayes left South Park years ago and chef and I think only came back once

[DerkTheJerk810]

yea he was one of the best charcters

[Oprah98]

OH TIM RUSSERT....we'll miss ya!!! (RIP)

....and who the hell is Isaac Hayes?

[ButterflyQueene07]

I was so shocked to hear about the passing of Isaac hayes. :( *sniff, sniff* Although impossible, one hopes that a beloved (family member, friend, or favorite star) would live forever, and sometimes one thinks that they would. I think of moments like these where it is important to value all of the people around you, for you never know when you'll lose them. RIP, brother man!

[Peniche5]

RIP Isaac Hayes.

[BrutalAsHell]

man so many great actors have passed away this year

Isaac Hayes, Bernie Mac, George Carlin, Heath Ledger etc...

[frnnk]

IT WAS SCIENTOOLOOGGYYYYYY!!!!!!!

RIP ISAAAAC! *cries* aww maaan. we droppin' like flies. i think it's safe to say that whites are behind the plot

[3Dtwin1]

What did Isaak hayes died of?

[ButterflyQueene07]

I believe it was a stroke. I'm not sure, but I'll check again.

[blackwhimsy]

Apparently he died of hypertension.This can be a quite managable condition with medication,diet & exercise in the majority of cases.However,the Church of Scientology don't believe in medication,and some of their 'health' treatments like the Purif Rundown are actually quite dangerous.I'm guessing Issac might have lived longer if his religion hadn't forbade the use of drugs.A shame,really.

[tutanee]

I hope to see you in heaven, rest in pease brother!

[corebore13]

hes a Scientolist

[Oprah98]

better a scientologist than a sodomite!

....but they're still all a bunch of freaks!

[tutanee]

it`s okay, he is a scientlogist, but I love to see isaac in heaven, is that somehow wrong, God judge ! not me!

[makezmuzic]

Amazing voice. Much love. RIP.

[DirectorJonas]

[keohane4444]

everytime a nigger dies an angel gets its wings

[makezmuzic]

and everytime human that happens to be White looks at you, hears you speak, has to smell you, they wish you would disappear. Haven't you noticed the lack of human beings around you? Of course not, your just as impotent at noticing social nuances as you are at getting it up.

LOL! I bet you have no idea of what I just said. ROFLMAO!!!!

[makezmuzic]

this is to keohane4444

[Oprah98]

i'm picking up a subtle hint of racism in your comments (but I could be wrong)

[hgerry21]

i can only say: R.I.P.

[blackenned]

no one could only imitate his voice in sp, he was the best, as musican and so as character...we miss you

[cnote414u]

we will miss u issac hayes,cblow,cnote,cwayne fortworth,tx

[debowh]

Isaac Hayes was one of those people that taught the current generation to love the 70s I know I do RIP

[shaqs32]

rip

[theOBAMAs999songs]

We're all here today because Chef has been such an important part of our lives. A lot of us don't agree with the choices Chef has made in the past few years. Some of us feel hurt and confused that he seemed to turn his back on us. I'm gonna remember Chef as the jolly old guy who broke into song. So you see, we shouldn't be mad at Chef for leaving us. We should be mad at that fruity little club for scrambling his brains. Did Scientology kills Chef?

[vytautas70]

jesus, that's a tragic day in the world of music! shaft was the greatest theme for the movie! I was a not big fan of him, but for me, he did a big job in the world of music! God bless him, R.I.P.

[Prodozul]

omg what the fuck! he wasn't supposed to die!

[keohane4444]
