(BlackDoctor.org) -- Isaac Hayes, the baldheaded, baritone-voiced soul crooner who laid the groundwork for disco and whose “Theme From Shaft” won both Academy and Grammy awards, died Sunday.To his youngest fans, Hayes was recognized as the silky, seductive voice of Chef on the animated TV program "South Park." Prior to that, Hayes's best-known achievement was the music for the 1971 film "Shaft." He wrote it, performed it and won an Academy Award for Best Original Score, the first African-American to do so. He also acted in some 30 films.Find out more at www.blackdoctor.org.Find it in our monthly features on our homepage.
