His first album was released in 1968 to little interest, but his second, Hot Buttered Soul, found major success, establishing Hayes' distinctive sound and dress style.In 1971, he worked on the soundtrack for Shaft, in which he also cameoed, which earned him the first Academy Award to a black musician for "Best Original Song." Taking a hiatus from music through the 1980s, he also began working as an actor, making appearances on a number of television shows (most notably, as Chef from South Park, from 1997-2006) and feature productions. He would return to making music in 1995.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })On August 10, 2008, he died from a stroke in his home near Memphis.

Sampling

comment
Sampling: His work has been sampled several times by other artists, the most famous examples being Portishead's "Glory Box" and Alessia Cara's "Here," both of which sample "Ike's Rap II." He himself would occasionally sample from other people's work. Even South Park got in on this, with an episode where Chef's role is composed entirely of Stock Footage following Haye's leave.

Epic Instrumental Opener: About half of Theme from Shaft is the instrumental opening. Since this song isn't very long, there isn't much time left for actual lyrics.

Epic Rocking: Had at least one song that qualified in all his albums. Almost every cut off his Hot Buttered Soul album qualifies. Particularly noteworthy are his covers of Walk on By (12:03) and By the Time I Get to Phoenix (18:42). Shaft, in turn, has "Do Your Thing" (19:30).

Spoken Word in Music: The album Hot Buttered Soul featured a cover of By the Time I Get to Phoenix that turned this trope into an art form. The song itself follows a man, having just left his wife, describing what he thinks she will be doing as he reaches certain destinations by car. Hayes turned this three-minute country song into an eighteen-minute soul epic, including an eight-minute spoken introduction of how the man came to his decision to leave his wife.
