Not sure who he was, but if your posting this he must have been important. I'm sorry at any point to know that someone has crossed over.

Most of the youger generation will know him as the chef from southpark.

He was a famous singer/song writer (mostly soul I think) He did the theme for the movie "SHAFT" among others.

He had a very smooth, deep voice.
Most of todays kids have heard it on commercials and such and don't even know it.

I agree. Both very talented men. The entertainment world has suffered a huge loss with their deaths.
