R.I.P. Isaac Hayes

Soul legend Isaac Hayes died today at the age of 65. He would have turned 66 in 10 days.

Isaac's wife found him unconscious next to the treadmill inside of their Memphis home this morning. When paramedics arrived, they tried to revive him and took him to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead at around 2 this afternoon. No foul play is suspected, but a cause of death has not yet been announced.

Isaac has won several Grammys. He also won an Oscar for the theme song to "Shaft." Isaac was the voice for Chef on "South Park" from 1997 to 2006. Isaac Hayes, who was a Scientologist, left the show because of an episode which made fun of Scientology.

Ugh! Bernie Mac yesterday and now Isaac Hayes today?! Bernie and Isaac did a movie together called "Soul Men" which comes out later this year. Samuel L. Jackson is also in that movie. Get Samuel to the safe house!

This shit too much, seriously. Isaac Hayes will be missed!

Rest in peace, Isaac.....

Here's the super-weird thing: Hayes stars in the upcoming fall release "Soul Men" with Bernie Mac and Samuel L. Jackson.

LOL (but not funny). I was thinking the same thing. At least Morgan Freeman pulled through. If I were Denzel, I would be locking my doors right about now...

I saw him grocery shopping one night once. Just had his little handheld basket and was buying cheese. I said nothing but a guy walked by and said "Hello Mr. Hayes!" and he said "Hello young man!". Heh... sounded just like when Chef said "Hello, children!".
Though this was way before South Park.

Oh God ... they die in threes ...

Isaac Hayes, nobody can sing like you did. I'll not only miss Shaft, but Chef's Salty Balls. Rest in peace and stay away from L. Ron.
