  • It would take a lot of chocolate salty balls for them to show the South Park episode where he 'leaves' the show following them all falling out over scientology...

    Still, the man was certainly a soul legend. RIP
  • I'm going to watch that very episode tonight, as a tribute.
  • Soul man and legend.

    Great song writer and producer for much of the early Stax material such as Hold On I'm Coming.

    Never liked much of his later stuff like Hot Buttered Soul as too over blown for my tastes but Shaft was a great soundtrack.
  • Have you seen it before?

    Its not exactly respectful!
  • Classic episode & a big shame they had a fall out as Chef was a great character. Not exactly respectful in the way they "killed" him off but lovely touch in the speech at the end.
  • also sad that bernie mac passed away over the weekend too,i used to enjoy his show.
  • was found lying beside his treadmill. Always thought exercise was dangerous for you. RIP.
