American soul singer
Isaac Hayes has died at 65. He was once best known for the
Theme From Shaft, though now most people would know him primarily for playing the Chef on
South Park (a husky-voiced black lothario whose characterisation undoubtedly owes a good deal to his contemporary Barry White) and quitting this show after it made fun of his religion,
Scientology. Most people probably won't remember him for having been a Ghanaian king with the title Nene Katey Ocansey, though
he was.
