Isaac Hayes was an influential American artist, known for his talents as a singer, keyboardist, producer, songwriter, and actor. Born on August 20, 1942 in Covington, Tennessee, he played a significant role in shaping the "Memphis sound" during the 1960s and 1970s while signed to the Stax record label. He achieved great success as a solo artist with the soundtrack to the movie Shaft in 1971. In addition to his musical accomplishments, Hayes also gained recognition as the voice of Chef on the animated TV series South Park from 1997 to 2006. Isaac Hayes left behind a lasting legacy and was posthumously inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.
Throughout his career, Isaac Hayes showcased his diverse talents as a musician and songwriter/producer. Collaborating with David Porter at Stax records allowed him to make significant contributions to the music industry during this time period.
In addition to his musical achievements, Isaac Hayes also made waves in Hollywood as an actor. His portrayal of Chef on South Park endeared him to audiences worldwide and solidified his status as a multi-talented entertainer.

The same holds true with this release as with the greatest-hit singles album. Isaac Hayes wasn't a singles artist in the strictest sense; he was an album and production wizard who took time to set up situations, moods, and themes. No single album can effectively communicate what he did in the '70s. Still, just because it isn't definitive doesn't mean it won't make a good sampler.
