A Sad Day In Soul Music: Isaac Hayes Dead at 65
First off, let me give my deepest sympathies to the family of Bernie Mac. Perhaps one of the greatest comics of our generation. I planned on reporting this Monday morning but then I was hit with this bombshell.
Isaac Hayes Dead at 65
Soul singer and musician Isaac Hayes has died, according to Memphis TV station WMC-TV. He was 65.
The station's Web site attributes the report to Shelby County Sheriff's Department spokesperson Steve Shular, saying a sheriff's deputy was called to Hayes' home after the singer's wife found him on the floor near a treadmill.
WMC-TV goes on to say Hayes was taken to Baptist East Hospital in Memphis, where he was pronounced dead at 2:08am. An investigation into the death is continuing, the station says.
Hayes was also known to millions as the voice of soulful cafeteria worker Chef on the animated "South Park." He left the show in 2006 after a dispute over the show's treatment of Scientology. Hayes had been a Scientologist since the mid 1990s.
I just can't believe that black entertainment suffered such huge losses in one weekend. I hope Monday gets here quickly.
