When Isaac Hayes died last week, the world lost an iconic figure of African American culture. Perhaps best known as his music for Shaft, Hayes also played a pivotal role in the success of Stax Records, what many consider to be one of the two original major Soul record labels. Naturally, he also played the character of Chef in the TV show South Park.
It is because of his past accomplishments that it should come as no surprise that Apple has created a "Remembering Isaac Hayes 1942-2008" page of the iTunes Store. While you can't rent Shaft, you can download a songs from any of the twenty albums present on the store, a music video for Thing For You, rent the South Park movie, purchase Hustle & Flow, or take a look at his Celebrity Playlist.
