Isaac Hayes Dead At 65
News this afternoon broke that soul singer Isaac Hayes was found dead in his Memphis, Tennessee home on Sunday. He was found next to his treadmill. Attempts to revive him failed. The singer is probably best known for singing the theme to the 1971 movie Shaft. In recent years, he did voice work for South Park, but that ended in 2006.
First Bernie Mac, and now Isaac Hayes. This is a sad weekend in the world of Hollywood. My thoughts go out to his family. As an artist, Hayes will be missed by many. Check out Hayes singing Shaft below. Share any thoughts you have of this man and his life in comments.
I too know that both of these great men will be missed. My heart goes out to there families.
