For real??! My goodness...

EDIT: Just checked TMZ, they've got the story as well.

Another one bites the dust. RIP Isaac Hayes.

He can't be dead, the last thing you do before you die is crap your...

(Yeah, Hell is my vacation spot)

In all seriousness, probably one of the most significant loss to the modern television, music, and movie industries. He and Quincy Jones brought fire to soundtracks.

Damn. One hell of a weekend this turned out to be.

**GK Punk** · 08-10-2008, 04:16 PM

...Wow. This would be terrible no matter what, but just one day after we lost Bernie Mac? Even worse.

*Raph's Girl* · 08-10-2008, 04:24 PM

WTF is going on?! That's 2 people from the same movie to die in 2 days!! Both Isaac Hayes and Bernie Mac are in "Soul Men" (out in November)!!! Gah!! Oh man oh man.. Somebody check on Samuel L. Jackson!! "Soul Men" is a cursed movie!

Seriously, they're dropping like flies. I wonder how Matt and Trey will respond?

*Guitar_Raph* · 08-10-2008, 07:56 PM

At the Richardson Library, they have a Shaft CD soundtrack. Besides the title song, there's a tune called "Elle's Love Theme", where Issac plays my instrument, the vibes! Thought he played so cool on that tune!

Chances are bringing back Darth Chef for an episode that premieres in the same week as Family Guy's new Star Wars parody

Gordo · 08-10-2008, 11:08 PM

Seriously. Did I miss a memo? Are we killing off famous cool black people this week?

God dammit.

My thoughts exactly. RIP, Isaac; forever crooning on Cloud Nine.

**Jester** · 08-11-2008, 01:57 AM

Man this sucks. Looks like I get to watch Shaft again, just for Hayes' music.

*Buslady* · 08-11-2008, 09:49 AM

yeah he was cool

*Spike Spiegel* · 08-11-2008, 05:35 PM

Another one bites the dust...sheesh, him and Bernie Mac...both legends in their own right.

*Mars-Chan* · 08-11-2008, 11:27 PM

WHOA!

This is getting creepy...

**Jo Dawn** · 08-11-2008, 11:51 PM

RIP Isaac. May you rest in peace.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 08-12-2008, 03:02 AM

I'm going to shoot myself. All the cool people are leaving the world, and I want to go with them.

Well, no. But this is still horrible.

Darth Shredder · 08-12-2008, 03:23 AM

RIP Isaac. I loved your music. I loved your voice acting on South Park. We shall miss you.

Apperantly he died of a stroke.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080813/...hayes_death_12

Isaac Hayes apparently died of a stroke, officials with the sheriff's department said Tuesday.

The deep-voiced soul singer died Sunday after he was found unconscious at his Memphis residence. No autopsy was performed, but paperwork filed by Hayes' family physician, Dr. David Kraus, lists the cause of death as a stroke, sheriff's spokesman Steve Shular said Tuesday.

Deputies were among the emergency crews that responded after a 911 call, and sheriff's department detectives were looking into the death. Kraus told investigators that he had been treating Hayes, 65, for high blood pressure, Shular said.

Family members found Hayes lying on the floor of his home beside a treadmill that was still switched on.

Meanwhile, a memorial service will be Monday at Hope Presbyterian Church in Cordova from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

His family issued a statement Tuesday, saying: "While he was an iconic figure to many, to us he was husband, father and friend. We will ever miss his love, wisdom, humor and the familiar comfort of his voice."

The baldheaded crooner, who laid the groundwork for disco and whose "Theme From Shaft" won both Academy and Grammy awards, was elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002. He also acted in movies and provided the voice of Chef, the school cook, on the animated TV show "South Park."

He had recently finished work on the upcoming movie "Soul Men," in which he played himself. The movie stars Samuel Jackson and Bernie Mac, who died on Saturday.

Hayes was hospitalized in 2006 for treatment of exhaustion, family friends said at the time.

Wow. That's a bizarre coincidence.
