Isaac Hayes, remarkable chronicler of street life in his music and the voice of sex education to paper cartoon characters, has died. Check out his obituary over on the Gruaniad, and their natty little youtube gallery thing.

He was a pioneer of soul and the legacy of his music ought not to be over shadowed either by his work on South Park (despite the fact that I’ve put a video from it to illustrate this), or his religion. His soundtrack for Shaft was stunning.
