Isaac Hayes Dead at 65
Grammy and Oscar-winning musician Isaac Hayes died in Memphis, Tenn., at age 65 on Sunday afternoon, the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office said.
His wife, who found him unresponsive on the floor near a treadmill, immediately called police to the scene. The cause of death was not immediately known.
Hayes co-wrote the hit song “Soul Man” and provided the voice of “Chef” on South Park.
Our prayers and condolences go out to the Hayes friends and family.
RIP.

RIP Isaac Hayes.
rip, thanks for the wonderful music
Rest in peace Isaac. We’ll always love your music - your version of “Walk on By” is brilliant. Brilliant!
First Bernie, now Isssc? Man, what a sad, sad weekend.
My heart goes out to both families.
Oh my God, but what is happening to our black stars????????????
Isaac Hayes wrote and performed the greatest Oscar-winning song ever… The Theme from Shaft.
Nothing has and will touch it.
And Chef… one of the best cartoon characters, ever!!!
RIP
RIP Isaac Hayes, Chef is a classic in South Park..
You are already missed Isaac. It’s really sad how people are dying so young. They still had a lot of time ahead of them (Berny and Isaac). Also celebraties deaths are happening too suddenly lately. You really don’t expect them.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I must point out when three or two white stars die one after each other, no one says “what is happening to our white stars”. What does death have to do with race? Geesh.
RIP
R.I.P Isaac.

Very sad yes, but its the only thing that is promised to all of us- death.
So crazy that these two artists have made a difference in the genres they worked in, and they’re gone on the same weekend.
Rest in peace…
RIP Issac.
What a great voice that has been silenced. We will greatly miss you, Isaac. Rest in peace.
Your songs will live on in our hearts. My prayers are with you and your family. Peace
