It was a pretty depressing weekend in the world of entertainment as we lost first Bernie Mac and then Isaac Hayes. Hayes passed away on Sunday in Memphis, Tennessee at the age of 65.
Many people know Hayes as the deep-voiced singer who brought the theme song to Shaft into the world. In 1972, he won the Oscar for that song, becoming the first African-American to win an Oscar in a non-acting category. Hayes went on to pick up three Grammy awards and was inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.
For people of a younger generation, however, Hayes will be remembered as the voice of Chef on South Park. To enjoy a video set to Chef's "Chocolate Salty Balls" in Hayes's honor, just read more.
Warning: The video includes some content that is NSFW, but it is also hilarious.

I love Chef and this song is hilarious. Its so sad that he is gone, he was fantastic.
1Farewell Chef.
2One of the first concerts my parents took me to was Isaac Hayes and we sat front row. The man was incredible and his voice was even better live than recorded. He was a genius and he will be missed.
3I am glad he left south park before he died, While i didnt agree with his views (mainly his criticism of the show that relaunched his career) I am sad that he is gone.
4I don't like South Park
5I do however morn the loss of such an amazingly cool performer and song writer
Bye IH
I never liked South Park. But RIP Isaac.
6I love SouthPark. It has seriously the best comedy ever.
7Well, may he RIP
The Shaft theme song is one of the best theme songs. He had such a distinct voice. Sad weekend indeed.
8South Park was the most crap show I've ever watched.
People told me to watch it because It's hilarious but it didn't even get a giggle out of me.
RIP .. I guess.
9"RIP..I guess"?
10Anyways, what a loss! I wasn't a fan of South Park but Isaac Hayes was an incredible man with great talent.
