Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on August 20, 1942)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Isaac Hayes! You're still the coolest cat around—after all, who else could make a detective's theme song so smooth it wins an Oscar? Your iconic "Shaft" soundtrack didn't just define cinema—it gave every private eye since 1971 something funky to groove along with.

And let's not forget your groundbreaking work at Stax Records alongside David Porter. You two crafted southern soul hits that made hearts melt and hips sway. Today we celebrate you, Isaac—the man whose music is timelessly cool and whose style remains unmatched. Keep grooving wherever you are; you're one bad mother... (shut your mouth!).
