Video Description:
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 Gra
mmy 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, vi

black people control most music now and it all SUCKS.
issac hayes is just another has-been r
b person trying to get credit for something he didn't create.
disco is EUROPEAN. chic copied what was made in europe and added a black sound to it. these black reporters in the media try to credit black people for all music but it's a lie.
tracy chapman is another black person talking about revolution while underneath she lusts for white people.
negroes only know how to make sesame street music in multi-million dollar studios. it a myth that blacks are good in art and music to make up for being flunkies in math and science. they are flunkies in every disipline. that bullshit was said by their teachers to make them feel good about themse
lves after flunking every sujbect except art class.
it's all a myth to make you feel you are actually are good at something other than juvenile sports games but you aren't. stevie wonder is pig s**t and so is marvin gay and so are the supremes. whites had way better music back then but get no credit for it.
black music sucks. the media prevents white bands from being heard so people buy black music. i saw the media do this ever since the 1980s. and the crap from blacks in the 1960s and 1970s sucked unless it has electronica in it. jimmy hendrix sucked but got attention for simply being a negro maki
ng what whites made.
EVERYONE from every generation listened to black music it does not mean they were "inspired" by it.
