MADE FROM WOOD 

Isaac Lee Hayes Jr.  (August 20, 1942 – August 10, 2008) was an American singer, songwriter, composer, and actor. He was one of the creative forces behind the Southern soul  music label Stax Records , serving as both an in-house songwriter and as a session musician and record producer, teaming with his partner David Porter  during the mid-1960s. Hayes and Porter were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame  in 2005 in recognition of writing scores of songs for themselves, the duo Sam & Dave , Carla Thomas , and others. In 2002, Hayes was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame .[4]

"Soul Man ", written by Hayes and Porter and first performed by Sam & Dave , was recognized as one of the most influential songs of the past 50 years by the Grammy Hall of Fame . It was also honored by The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame , by Rolling Stone  magazine, and by the Recording Industry Association of America  (RIAA) as one of the Songs of the Century . During the late 1960s, Hayes also began a career as a recording artist. He had several successful soul albums such as Hot Buttered Soul  (1969) and Black Moses  (1971). In addition to his work in popular music , Hayes worked as a composer of musical scores  for motion pictures.

Hayes was known for his musical score for the film Shaft  (1971). For the "Theme from Shaft ", he was awarded the Academy Award for Best Original Song  in 1972, making him the third black person, after Hattie McDaniel  and Sidney Poitier , to win an Academy Award  in any competitive field covered by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences . Hayes also won two Grammy Awards  for that same year. Later, he was given his third Grammy for his music album Black Moses .

In 1992, Hayes was crowned honorary king of the Ada  region of Ghana in recognition of his humanitarian work there.[5]  He acted in motion pictures and television, such as in the movies Truck Turner  and I'm Gonna Git You Sucka , and as Gandolf "Gandy" Fitch in the TV series The Rockford Files  (1974–1980). Hayes also voiced the character Chef  from the Comedy Central  animated series South Park  from its debut in 1997 until his controversial departure in 2006.

On August 5, 2003, Hayes was honored as a BMI  Icon at the 2003 BMI Urban Awards for his enduring influence on generations of music makers.[6]  Throughout his songwriting career, Hayes received five BMI R&B Awards, two BMI Pop Awards, two BMI Urban Awards and six Million-Air citations. As of 2008, his songs had generated more than 12 million performances.[7]

Early life [ edit ]

Isaac Lee Hayes Jr. was born in Covington, Tennessee ,[8]  the second child of Eula (née  Wade) and Isaac Hayes Sr.[9]  After his mother died young and his father abandoned his family, Hayes was raised by his maternal grandparents,[10]  Mr. and Mrs. Willie Wade Sr. The child of a sharecropper family, Hayes grew up working on farms in the Tennessee counties of Shelby  and Tipton . At age five, Hayes began singing at his local church and he taught himself to play the piano, Hammond organ, flute, and saxophone.[citation needed ]

Hayes dropped out of high school, but his former teachers at Manassas High School  in Memphis  encouraged him to complete his diploma, which he did at the age of 21. After graduating from high school, Hayes was offered several music scholarships from colleges and universities. He turned down all of them to provide for his immediate family, working at a meat-packing plant in Memphis by day and playing nightclubs and juke joints  several evenings a week in Memphis and nearby northern Mississippi .[10]  Hayes's first professional gigs, in the late 1950s, were as a singer at Curry's Club in North Memphis, backed by Ben Branch 's houseband.[11]

Career [ edit ]

1963–1974: Stax Records and Shaft [ edit ] Hayes in 1971

Hayes began his recording career in the early 1960s, as a session musician for acts recorded by the Memphis-based Stax Records .[12]  He later wrote a string of hit songs with songwriting partner David Porter , including "You Don't Know Like I Know", "Soul Man ",[13]  "When Something Is Wrong with My Baby " and "Hold On, I'm Comin' " for Sam & Dave . Hayes, Porter and Stax studio band Booker T. & the M.G.'s  were also the producers for Sam & Dave, Carla Thomas and other Stax artists during the mid-1960s. One of the first Stax records Hayes played on was "Winter Snow" by Booker T. and The M.G.s (Stax 45–236), which indicates "Introducing Issac Hayes on piano" on the label.

Hayes-Porter contributed to the Stax sound of this period, and Sam & Dave credited Hayes for helping develop both their sound and style. In 1968, Hayes released his debut album, Presenting Isaac Hayes , a jazzy, largely improvised effort that was commercially unsuccessful.[14]

Stax then went through a major upheaval, losing its biggest star when Otis Redding  died in a plane crash in December 1967, and then losing its back catalog to Atlantic Records  in May 1968. As a result, Stax executive vice president Al Bell  called for 27 new albums to be completed in mid-1969; Hayes's second album, Hot Buttered Soul  was the most successful of these releases.[14]

On Hot Buttered Soul , Hayes reinterpreted "Walk On By " (previously recorded by Dionne Warwick) into a 12-minute exploration. "By the Time I Get to Phoenix " starts with an eight-minute-long monologue[15]  before breaking into song, and the lone original number, the funky "Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic" runs nearly ten minutes, a significant break from the standard three-minute soul/pop songs. "Walk On By" would be the first of many times Hayes would take a Burt Bacharach  standard, generally known as three-minute pop songs by Dionne Warwick or Dusty Springfield , and transform it into a soulful, lengthy and almost gospel  number.[citation needed ]

In 1970, Hayes released two albums, The Isaac Hayes Movement  and ...To Be Continued . The former stuck to the four-song template of his previous album. Jerry Butler's  "I Stand Accused" begins with a trademark spoken word monologue, and Bacharach's "I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself " is re-worked.[citation needed ] The latter album included "The Look of Love ", another Bacharach song transformed into an 11-minute epic of lush orchestral rhythm (mid-way it breaks into a rhythm guitar jam for a couple of minutes before suddenly resuming the slow love song). An edited three-minute version was issued as a single.[16]  The album featured the instrumental "Ike's Mood," which segues into a version of "You've Lost That Loving Feeling ". Hayes released a Christmas single, "The Mistletoe and Me" (with "Winter Snow" as a B-side ).[citation needed ]

In early 1971, Hayes composed music for the soundtrack  of the blaxploitation  film Shaft  (he appeared in a cameo role as a bartender). The title theme, with its wah-wah guitar  and multi-layered symphonic  arrangement, would become a worldwide hit single, and spent two weeks at number one in the Billboard  Hot 100  in November. The remainder of the album was mostly instrumentals covering big beat jazz, bluesy funk, and hard Stax-styled soul. The other two vocal songs, the social commentary  "Soulsville" and the 19-minute jam "Do Your Thing," would be edited down to hit singles.[16]  He won an "Academy Award for Best Original Song " for the "Theme from Shaft ", and in addition was nominated for Best Original Dramatic Score. Later in the year, Hayes released a double album, Black Moses , that expanded on his earlier sounds and featured The Jackson 5 's song "Never Can Say Goodbye ". Another single, "I Can't Help It", was not featured on the album.[citation needed ]

In 1972, Hayes would record the theme tune for the television series The Men  and release a hit single (with "Type Thang" as a B-side).[16]  He released a couple of other non-album singles during the year, such as "If Loving You Is Wrong (I Don't Want to Be Right) " and "Rolling Down a Mountainside". Atlantic would re-release Hayes's debut album this year with the new title In The Beginning .[17]

Hayes was back in 1973 with an acclaimed live double album, Live at the Sahara Tahoe , and followed it up with the album Joy . He moved away from cover songs with this album. An edited version of the title track would be a hit single.[18]

In 1974, Hayes was featured in the blaxploitation films Three Tough Guys  and Truck Turner , and he recorded soundtracks for both. Tough Guys  was almost devoid of vocals and Truck Turner  yielded a single with the title theme. The soundtrack score of Truck Turner  was eventually used by filmmaker Quentin Tarantino  in the Kill Bill  film series, and has been used for over 30 years as the opening score of Brazilian radio show Jornal de Esportes  on the Jovem Pan  station.[citation needed ]

Unlike most African American musicians of the period, Hayes did not sport an Afro  haircut; his bald head became one of his defining characteristics.[citation needed ]

1974–1977: HBS, basketball team ownership, and bankruptcy [ edit ]

By 1974, Stax Records was having serious financial problems, stemming from problems with overextension and limited record sales and distribution.[citation needed ] Hayes himself was deep in debt to Union Planters Bank , which administered loans for the Stax label and many of its other key employees. In September of that year, Hayes sued Stax for $5.3 million. As Stax was in deep debt and could not pay, the label made an arrangement with Hayes and Union Planters: Stax released Hayes from his recording and production contracts, and Union Planters would collect all of Hayes's income and apply it towards his debts.[citation needed ]

Hayes formed his own label, Hot Buttered Soul, which released its product through ABC Records .[19]  His new album, 1975's Chocolate Chip , saw Hayes embrace the disco sound with the title track and lead single. "I Can't Turn Around" would prove a popular song as time went on. This would be Hayes's last album to chart in the top 40 for many years. Later in the year, the all-instrumental Disco Connection  album fully embraced disco.[citation needed ]

On July 17, 1974, Hayes, along with Mike Storen , Avron Fogelman  and Kemmons Wilson , took over ownership of the American Basketball Association  team the Memphis Tams .[20]  The prior owner was Charles O. Finley , the owner of the Oakland A's  baseball team. Hayes's group renamed the team the Memphis Sounds . Despite a 66% increase in home attendance, hiring well regarded coach Joe Mullaney  and, unlike in the prior three seasons, making the 1975 ABA Playoffs  (losing to the eventual champion Kentucky Colonels  in the Eastern Division semi-finals), the team's financial problems continued. The group was given a deadline of June 1, 1975, to sell 4,000 season tickets, obtain new investors and arrange a more favorable lease for the team at the Mid-South Coliseum . However, the group did not come through and the ABA took over the team, selling it to a group in Maryland that renamed the team the Baltimore Hustlers  and then the Baltimore Claws  before the club finally folded during preseason play for the 1975–1976 season.[21]

In 1976, the album cover of Juicy Fruit  featured Hayes in a pool with naked women, and spawned the title track single and the classic "Storm Is Over". Later the same year the Groove-A-Thon  album featured the singles "Rock Me Easy Baby" and the title track. However, while all these albums were regarded as solid efforts, Hayes was no longer selling large numbers. He and his wife were forced into bankruptcy in 1976, as they owed over $6 million. By the end of the bankruptcy proceedings in 1977, Hayes had lost his home, much of his personal property, and the rights to all future royalties earned from the music he had written, performed, and produced.[22]

1977–1995: Polydor, hiatus, and film work [ edit ]

In 1977, Hayes was back with a new deal with Polydor Records, a live album of duets with Dionne Warwick  did moderately well, and his comeback studio album New Horizon  sold better and enjoyed a hit single "Out The Ghetto", and also featured the popular "It's Heaven To Me". 1978's For the Sake of Love  saw Hayes record a sequel to "Theme from Shaft " ("Shaft II"), but was best known for the single "Zeke The Freak", a song that would have a shelf life of decades and be a major part of the House  movement in the UK. The same year, Fantasy Records , which had bought out Stax Records, released an album of Hayes's non-album singles and archived recordings as a "new" album, Hotbed , in 1978. In 1979, Hayes returned to the Top 40 with Don't Let Go  and its disco-styled title track that became a hit single (U.S. #18), and also featured the classic "A Few More Kisses To Go". Later in the year he added vocals and worked on Millie Jackson 's album Royal Rappin's , and a song he co-wrote, "Deja Vu ", became a hit for Dionne Warwick and won her a Grammy for best female R&B vocal. Neither 1980s And Once Again  or 1981's Lifetime Thing  produced notable songs or big sales, and Hayes chose to take a break from music to pursue acting.[citation needed ]

In the 1970s, Hayes was featured in the films Shaft  (1971) and Truck Turner  (1974); he also had a recurring role in the TV series The Rockford Files  as an old cellmate of Rockford's, Gandolph Fitch (who always referred to Rockford as "Rockfish" much to his annoyance), including one episode alongside duet-partner Dionne Warwick. In the 1980s and 1990s, he appeared in numerous films, notably Escape from New York  (1981), I'm Gonna Git You Sucka  (1988), Prime Target  (1991), and Robin Hood: Men in Tights  (1993), as well as in episodes of The A-Team  and Miami Vice . He also attempted a musical comeback, embracing the style of drum machines and synth for 1986s U-Turn  and 1988s Love Attack , though neither proved successful. In 1991, he was featured in a duet with fellow soul singer Barry White  on White's ballad "Dark and Lovely (You Over There)".[citation needed ]

1995–2006: Return to prominence and South Park [ edit ]

In 1995, Hayes appeared as a Las Vegas minister impersonating himself in the comedy series The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air . He launched a comeback on the Virgin  label in May 1995 with Branded , an album of new material that earned impressive sales figures as well as positive reviews from critics who proclaimed it a return to form.[23]  A companion album released around the same time, Raw & Refined , featured a collection of previously unreleased instrumentals, both old and new. For the 1996 film Beavis and Butt-Head Do America , he wrote a version of the Beavis and Butt-Head  theme in the style of the Shaft  theme.[citation needed ]

Hayes joined the founding cast of Comedy Central 's animated TV series South Park .  He provided the voice for the character of "Chef ", the amorous elementary-school lunchroom cook, from the show's debut on August 13, 1997 (one week shy of his 55th birthday), through the end of its ninth season in 2006. The role of Chef combined his work both as an actor and as a singer, thanks to the character's penchant for making conversational points in the form of crudely suggestive soul songs. A song from the series performed by Chef, "Chocolate Salty Balls (P.S. I Love You) ", received international radio airplay in 1999. It reached number one on the UK singles chart  and also on the Irish singles chart . The track also appeared on the album Chef Aid: The South Park Album  in 1998.[24] [25] [26]

In 2000, Hayes appeared on the soundtrack of the French movie The Magnet  on the song "Is It Really Home" written and composed by rapper Akhenaton (IAM) and composer Bruno Coulais. In 2002, Hayes was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame . After he played a set at the 2002 Glastonbury Festival , a documentary highlighting Isaac's career and his impact on many of the Memphis artists in the 1960s onwards was produced, Only The Strong Survive .[citation needed ] In 2004, Hayes appeared in a recurring minor role as the Jaffa  Tolok  on the television series Stargate SG-1 . The following year, he appeared in the critically acclaimed independent film Hustle & Flow . He also had a brief recurring role in UPN /The CW 's Girlfriends  as Eugene Childs (father of Toni).[citation needed ]

South Park  Scientology episode [ edit ] Further information: Trapped in the Closet (South Park) § Controversy

In the South Park  episode "Trapped in the Closet ", a satire of Scientology  that aired on November 16, 2005, Hayes did not appear in his role as Chef. While appearing on the Opie and Anthony  radio show about a month after the episode aired, Hayes was asked, "What did you think about when Matt and Trey did that episode on Scientology?" He replied, "One thing about Matt and Trey: they lampoon everybody, and if you take that serious, I'll sell you the Brooklyn Bridge  for two dollars. That's what they do."[citation needed ]

In an interview for The A.V. Club  on January 4, 2006, Hayes was again asked about the episode. He said that he told the creators, Matt Stone  and Trey Parker , "Guys, you have it all wrong. We're not like that. I know that's your thing, but get your information correct, because somebody might believe that shit, you know?" He then told them to take a couple of Scientology courses to understand what they do. In the interview, Hayes defended South Park ' s style of controversial humor, noting that he was not pleased with the show's treatment of Scientology, but saying that he "understands what Matt and Trey are doing."[27]

Departure from South Park [ edit ] Hayes performing in 2007

On March 13, 2006, a statement was issued in Hayes's name, indicating that he was asking to be released from his contract with Comedy Central , calling recent episodes that satirized religious beliefs intolerant. "There is a place in this world for satire, but there is a time when satire ends and intolerance and bigotry towards religious beliefs of others begins," he was quoted as saying in the press statement. However, the statement did not directly mention Scientology. A response from Stone said that Hayes's complaints stemmed from the show's criticism of Scientology and that he "has no problem – and he's cashed plenty of checks – with our show making fun of Christians, Muslims, Mormons or Jews."[28] [29]

On March 20, 2006, two days before the episode "The Return of Chef " aired, Roger Friedman  of Fox News  reported having been told that the March 13 statement was made in Hayes's name, but not by Hayes himself. He wrote: "Isaac Hayes did not quit South Park . My sources say that someone quit it for him. ... Friends in Memphis tell me that Hayes did not issue any statements on his own about South Park . They are mystified."[30]  In a 2016 oral history of South Park  in The Hollywood Reporter , Hayes's son Isaac Hayes III  said the decision to leave the show was made by his father's entourage, all of whom were ardent Scientologists, and that it was made after Hayes suffered a stroke, leaving him vulnerable to outside influence and unable to make such decisions on his own.[31]

The first South Park  episode that premiered after Hayes's death, "The China Probrem ", was dedicated to him.[32]

2006–2008: Final years [ edit ]

Hayes's income was sharply reduced as a result of leaving South Park .[33]  There followed announcements that he would be touring and performing. A Fox News  reporter present at a January 2007 show in New York City, who had known Hayes fairly well, reported that "Isaac was plunked down at a keyboard, where he pretended to front his band. He spoke-sang, and his words were halting. He was not the Isaac Hayes of the past."[33]

In April 2008, while a guest on The Adam Carolla Show , Hayes stumbled in his responses to questions, possibly as a result of health problems. A caller questioned whether Hayes was under the influence of a substance, and Carolla and co-host Teresa Strasser  asked Hayes if he had ever used marijuana . After some confusion on what was being asked, Hayes replied that he had only ever tried it once. During the interview the radio hosts made light of Hayes's awkward answers, and replayed snippets of earlier ones to simulate conversation with his co-hosts. Hayes stated during this interview that he was no longer on good terms with Parker and Stone.[34]

During the spring of 2008, Hayes shot scenes for Soul Men , a comedy inspired by the history of Stax Records, in which he appears as himself in a supporting role. The film was released in November 2008, after both Hayes and his costar, Bernie Mac , had died.[35]

Health problems and death [ edit ]

On March 20, 2006, Roger Friedman of Fox News  reported that Hayes had suffered a minor stroke in January.[30]  Hayes's spokeswoman, Amy Harnell, denied this,[36]  but on October 26, 2006, Hayes confirmed he had suffered a stroke.[37]

On August 10, 2008, ten days before his 66th birthday, Hayes was found unresponsive in his home, just east of Memphis , as reported by the Shelby County, Tennessee  Sheriff's Office.[38]  A Shelby County Sheriff's deputy and an ambulance from Rural Metro  responded to his home after three family members found his body on the floor next to a still-operating treadmill. Hayes was taken to Baptist Memorial Hospital  in Memphis, where he was pronounced dead at 2:08 p.m. [38] [39] [40]  The cause of death was not immediately clear,[41]  although the area medical examiners later listed a recurrence of stroke as the cause of death.[40] [42]  Hayes was buried at Memorial Park Cemetery , in Memphis, Tennessee.[43]

Legacy [ edit ]

The Tennessee General Assembly  enacted legislation in 2010 to honor Hayes by naming a section of Interstate 40  the "Isaac Hayes Memorial Highway". The name was applied to the stretch of highway in Shelby County  from Sam Cooper Boulevard  in Memphis east to the Fayette County  line. The naming was made official at a ceremony held on Hayes's birth anniversary in August 2010.[44]
