yankovic fan 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2008 Singer, songwriter Isaac Hayes dies at age 65 8 minutes ago MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Isaac Hayes, the pioneering singer, songwriter and musician whose relentless "Theme From Shaft" won Academy and Grammy awards, has been found dead at home. He was 65. The Shelby County Sheriff's Office says a family member found Hayes unresponsive near a treadmill on Sunday. He was pronounced dead about an hour later at Baptist East Hospital in Memphis. The cause of death was not immediately known. In the early 1970s, Hayes laid the groundwork for disco, for what became known as urban-contemporary music and for romantic crooners like Barry White. And he was rapping before there was rap. His career hit another high in 1997 when he became the voice of Chef, the sensible school cook and devoted ladies man on the animated TV show "South Park." http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gsCUwiq...1RToZQD92FKRQO0 Very sad news indeed. I posted it under this forum due to his work in Shaft and South Park. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Warriorfan 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2008 I can't believe he's gone. My condolonces go out to his family and friends. While I'm happy a new generation got introduced to him on SOUTH PARK; I hope those same individuals pick up HOT BUTTERED SOUL and the SHAFT soundtrack to see why he is truly a music icon. Its a bit morbid but I'm dreading hearing that next death announcement. This seems to be the only superstition that always bears fruit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Cal Moriarty Report post Posted August 11, 2008 I know we're supposed to reflexively just say how it's sad when people die, but as I understand, his health had been deteriorating for a couple of years now, and really, the guy had a pretty amazing life, much more influential and fun than anything you or I will do. Hardly cut down in his prime. It's too bad that the Scientology bullshit will be a big part of his legacy. Oh well. One of the greats. I'm moving this to Music, btw.
