Singer, songwriter Isaac Hayes dies at age 65
Aug. 10, 2008, 5:18 PM EST

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Isaac Hayes, the baldheaded, baritone-voiced soul crooner who laid the groundwork for disco and whose "Theme From Shaft" won both Academy and Grammy awards, died Sunday afternoon after he collapsed near a treadmill, authorities said. He was 65.

Hayes was pronounced dead at Baptist East Hospital in Memphis an hour after he was found by a family member, the Shelby County Sheriff's Office said. The cause of death was not immediately known.

With his muscular build, shiny head and sunglasses, Hayes cut a striking figure at a time when most of his contemporaries were sporting Afros. His music, which came to be known as urban-contemporary, paved the way for disco as well as romantic crooners like Barry White.

A sad loss. He was self taught, and I love his music. R.I.P.

Hayes was a hypocrite who collected paychecks from South Park for making fun of ever religion known to man. But as soon as they wanted to take a jab at Scientology, he suddenly grew a conscience. Give me a break!
