Isaac Lee Hayes, Jr. (August 20, 1942 -- August 10, 2008)[1] was an American soul and funk singer-songwriter, musician, record producer, arranger, composer and actor. Hayes was one of the main creative forces behind southern soul music label Stax Records, where he served as both an in-house songwriter and producer with partner David Porter during the mid-1960s. In the late 1960s, Hayes became a recording artist, and recorded successful soul albums such as Hot Buttered Soul (1969) and Black Moses (1971) as the Stax label's premier artist.Alongside his work in popular music, Hayes was a film score composer for motion pictures. His best known work, for the 1971 blaxploitation film Shaft, earned Hayes an Academy Award for Best Original Song (the first Academy Award received by an African-American in a non-acting category) and two Grammy Awards. He received a third Grammy for the album Black Moses.In 1992, in recognition of his humanitarian work, he was crowned an honorary king of Ghana's Ada district. From 1997 to 2006, he provided the voice for the character "Chef" on the Comedy Central animated TV series South Park.Hayes was found dead in his Memphis home on August 10, 2008 as reported by the Shelby County sheriff's department. His death came 10 days before his 66th birthday.[1][2]Here is a complete slo-mo video clip of Isaac Hayes conducting the Theme from Shaft, which won an Oscar for best song.After viewing, visit this lost mash-up classic from 1985 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

most non-classical, modern music was made by the english and scots in europe and they took it with them to the southern states of america which is where blacks copied it from them. gospel is white music blacks adopted.it doesn't matter anymore what politically correct music books state because we all know they have an agenda. again, nothing comes from africa but s**t sounds unlike europe and asia who do a true music history and not a made-up one.

uhh, this is popular music, if you dont know where it started from, you have serious problems, little richard and all those other acts who were rejected in United States at the starting of their careers were very well accepted in Europe, I read more than you and understand history, something you'll never get, lol why the hell do you listen to drum beats if you hate Africa so damn much, thats where it came from,

you're some moron who wants to believe in the political correct delusion that negroids have had a hand in everything. it's idiotic. the simple, stupid music from africa sucks now and always did. the music of whites in europe and arabs in the the middle east and other asians is real music.pig shits haven't made anything, the fact that you take credit for others work proves it.actually negorid ruined music the beatles, englsih rock, new wave and europ disco just postponed it.

your a loser, you obviously dont know anything about bernie worrell or the like, yet kraftwerk even stated they were inspired by funk and soul, the krautrock scene they sprung up from used jass/funk/soul as part of the basis, and you are honestly going to tell me they werent inspired by that type of music because you have a hard time knowing anything about black people other than what your racist ass parents told you
