Issac Hayes, 1942 - 2008

The legendary R&B signer Isaac Hayes was found dead yesterday at his home in Memphis Tennessee. Despite his rather bizarre departure from the classic animated sitcom "South Park," you can't deny the man's mark on the soul music of the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

In celebration, here are two clips: The first is Hayes as "Chef," singing to the kids of "South Park" about his new dessert. The second one I am unable to embed, but if you click here you can view the video for his 1980 million-seller "Don't Let Go."
