Isaac Hayes brought so much joy to the world. First in music, singer, songwriter and producer. With his raw stage presence he influenced generations of performers. R. Kelly only wishes he was Isaac Hayes. And Kanye cries a little every night that he Isaac Hayes got to the title Black Moses first. Then his incomparable voice work as Chef on South Park.
But as a final gift of entertainment, we got to experience newscasters around the country intoning in their somber obituary voices (accompanied by the head slightly tilted to the right, eyebrows just a little pinched, tiny sympathetic nod), "a musician known throughout the world, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee and an Oscar winner for his "Theme from Shaft"." Daaaaamn right.
