He's probably best know today for his role as Chef on South Park, which wouldn't be too bad except for the ugly way it ended because of his involvement with Scientology. Some will also recall him writing the theme song to "Shaft," which, again, is cool.
But his involvement in writing, producing and playing on dozens of the greatest R&B songs of the 1960s shouldn't be forgotten. Nor should his own, non-Shaft, solo work from the 1960s and 1970s.
Here is a little to remmeber him by.
"There are men, in all ages, who mean to exercise power usefully; but who mean to exercise it. They mean to govern well; but they mean to govern. They promise to be kind masters; but they mean to be masters." Daniel Webster
