Most of us remember Isaac Hayes for his many contributions to music, not the least of which was his Oscar-winning “Theme to Shaft,” as well as his recent work as the voice of Chef on Comedy Central’s South Park. But for Rockford Files fans, Hayes is best known for his impressive turns as ex-con Gandolf Fitch in three episodes of the popular NBC detective series (1974-1980), most notably the second season episode “The Hammer of C Block.”
Frankie and I will pay tribute to Isaac Hayes as part of our premiere edition of TV CONFIDENTIAL, this Tuesday, Aug. 12 beginning at 10:30pm ET, 7:30pm PT on Share-a-Vision Radio, KSAV.org. We’ll talk about his many contributions to music, film and television starting at about 10:35pm ET, 7:35pm PT. Then, as previously announced, television writer Paul Robert Coyle will join us at 11pm ET, 8pm PT as we look back at the career of William Conrad. We hope you’ll join us.
