When Isaac Hayes died last week, the world lost an iconic figureof African American culture. Perhaps best known as his music for Shaft , Hayes also played a pivotal role in the success of Stax Records, what many consider to be one ofthe two original major Soul record labels. Naturally, he alsoplayed the character of Chef in the TV show South Park .

It is because of his past accomplishments that it should come as nosurprise that Apple has created a "Remembering Isaac Hayes 1942-2008" page of the iTunes Store. While you can't rent Shaft, you can download a songs from any of the twenty albums present onthe store, a music video for Thing For You , rent the South Park movie, purchase Hustle & Flow, or take a look at his CelebrityPlaylist.
