Isaac Hayes Dead at 65

[DeltAlum]

Not meaning to look beyond his many other achievements, Shaft is one of those iconic songs -- not only as a hit on the charts, but also as the theme of the movie.

His is a great loss.

[Dionysus]

Wow, this is a horrible year for entertainers.

We've lost...
Brad Renfro
Heath Ledger
George Carlin
Estelle Getty
Bernie Mac
Almost Morgan Freeman

I'm sure there's someone that I forgot.

:judging: but not really.

Let me clarify. It's not like I was reading to specifically find out his death...I was browsing for celeb news/gossip and happened upon it. Then I went to CNN.com to verify that it was true b/c I didn't want to post something that may be speculation. So I hope that makes sense and you don't think that I think Perez is news, b/c obviously it's not. I was just stating my information.

Bernie Mac's dying was sad, but Shaft? Worst weekend to be black EVER.

FWIW, Bernie Mac didn't die from his sarcoidosis, which had been in remission, but from pneumonia.

i got you on PM...

^^^Ok.

Playing in my head now:

Hot summer streets
And the pavements are burning
I sit around
Trying to smile
But the air is so heavy and dry
Strange voices are saying
What did they say
Things I can't understand
It's too close for comfort
This heat has got right out of hand

(chorus x 2)
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you've gone

The city is crowded
My friends are away
And I'm on my own
It's too hot to handle
So I got to get up and go

(chorus)
You're not the only one
(chorus)

(chorus)
You're not the only one
(chorus)

He didn't die, but was seriously injured.

My first memory of Isaac Hayes is watching him on the A-Team when I was about 9 years old.

Sloooooooooooow down....Issac Hayes on A Team? That was only one episode....

I also just talked to someone who did not realize that all this time he did Chef's voice on South Park....

Irony:

Bernic Mac and Issac Hayes are set to be in a movie this fall
