Isaac Hayes Found Dead
 

Another death in the entertainment world. Isaac Hayes was found dead in his home today in Memphis, TN. He was near a treadmill so I wonder if he had a heart attack while exercising? He was 65. He was responsible for the "Theme From Shaft".

yikes...

:(

thanks for posting this, kitty...

what great losses this year....

....and Chef on South Park. Loved that character. :D His Shaft character made a lot of men feel cool. With his soulful voice, he made many a woman swoon. :p

With the passing of Bernie Mac yesterday, someone said "Heaven just got a little bit funnier."

With the passing of Isaac Hayes today, I suspect the angels in Heaven will soon be feeling cool and swooning to his music.

Rest in peace, Mr. Hayes.

You know what's weird? He just finished wrapping a comedic movie Soul Man which co-stars Samuel L. Jackson and Bernie Mac. Mac also just recently passed away rather unexpectedly. Sad to lose 2 amazing talents, they'll be greatly missed!:)

Everyone have a batch of Chef's chocolate salty balls in honor of Mr. Hayes! He's brought me so many laughs as Chef!:D

I was so shocked to see this news, especially on the heels of Bernie Mac. Not a good week.

JessieSue, thanks for the info. about the movie.

And you should read about what people think is the reason he died. I went to the Internet Movie Database (which has absolutely all latest stuff on ANYBODY, any film, anything in the movie industry.

I typed in Isaac Hayes, and read the message board. They are blaming it all on the Scientologists. He was involved with them (or something to that effect).

Very creepy.

I think Samuel L Jackson should be careful. :(

That was my first thought.
