We lost Issac Hayes today. I hope Memphis does the right thing and at least names a street after him. He'd probably like a park better. Black Moses, Hot Buttered Soul & to a lesser extent, Chef.
He was found dead outside of Memphis in his Shelby county home. A family member found him around 1 pm. Hayes wife, their 2 year old son and another family member had gone to the store around noon and found the singer on the ground by a running treadmill. He was unresponsive. Rescue workers responded to the 911 call and preformed CPR to no avail. He was rushed to Baptist Memorial Hospital and was pronounced dead at 2:10 P.M.
Born August 20th, 1942-died August 10th 2008. He was 65. He had been under a physicians care for "medical conditions".
I highly recommend that you go out and buy Wattstax and Hot Buttered Soul and get your Stax on A.S.A.P.
I hope you finally found what you were looking for.
