In 1971, the theme from "Shaft" topped the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks and won an Academy Award for best original theme song. The song and the movie score also won Grammy awards for best original score and movie theme.
Hayes won a third Grammy for pop instrumental performance with the title track to his 1972 "Black Moses" album.
From the late 1990s through 2006, Hayes provided the voice of "Chef" for Comedy Central's raunchy animated series "South Park," as well as numerous songs.
The role introduced him to a new generation of fans, but he left after the show lampooned his own religion, the Church of Scientology.
He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.
Triste triste triste
Black Moses etait
bien plus que
qu'un meilleur Barry White
c'était d'abord,
pour moi
une chanson de 20mn
sur son album B.O. de Shaft,
que tu consommes sans te méfier
aux premieres mesures
laissant le refrain
te balancer le coeur gentiment.
jusqu'a ce que ton oreille soit inféctée
par une guitare démoniaque
et que les choeurs
te décrochent doucement du sol
te soulèvent dans les airs
t'écrasent au plafond
te tordent les os
te fassent claquer les neurones
et te laissent retomber net
hagar et en sueur
et que tu te demandes
si l'enfer des scientologues,
n'est pas un
meilleur paradis (**)
C'etait ensuite
une voix qui
pouvait engrosser ta femme
juste en lui disant
l'heure (*)
Quel salop!
*(je sais que c'est vrai.
meme si je l'ai totalement inventé.
**(ça par contre,
c'est du vecu !
j'en ai encore une
synapse desaxée)
Allez
une p'tite version
pour se sechez les yeux
