This artist got lots of club play .... but not enough ....

On DEC . 23 , 1976 just as disco was really cookin' .... bankruptcy was filed ....citing : "survival in destitute circumstances" including the challenge of having a "chauffeured limousine to take my children to school " .... :o

So who was it ..

Your second clue gave it away as Isaac Hayes. Didn't know his kids were chauffered to school. :o That bankruptcy and his battle with Stax/Enterprise kept him off the scene for many years. Shaft! --- Can you did it? :D
