Isaac Hayes

Postby LLeff » Sun Aug 10, 2008 5:16 pm

Just heard about the passing of Isaac Hayes. He appeared on Jack's First Farewell special, complete with gold chains and shirtless. There has been much discussion about Jack interacting with pop groups "beyond" his own time, and this interaction is definitely one of my personal favorites, with Jack in his usual special tuxedo sitting on a piano bench with the comparatively intimidating Hayes.

Make up your own lyrics to "Shaft" substituting "Jack"...

can't resist a challenge:

Who's the star of no-good flicks
That's a sex machine to all the chicks?
JACK!
Ya darn right!

Who is the man that would risk his neck
For his pocket change?
JACK!
Can you dig it?

Who's the cat that won't cop out
When there's Jell-O all about?
JACK!
Right On!

They say this cat Jack is a bad fiddler...
CUT THAT OUT!
I'm talkin' 'bout Jack.
THEN WE CAN DIG IT!

He's a complicated man
But no one understands him but his valet
JACK! :P

RIP Isaac! You were a great "Chef" too!

The Benny/ Hayes "handgrip" greeting is pretty cool!
