Isaac Hayes Passes Away at 65

What kind of weekend is this? Isaac Hayes aka Black Moses, passed away today in his home in Memphis, Tennessee.

Isaac Hayes’ wife, son, and his wife’s cousin returned home from the grocery store and found him in a downstairs bedroom. He was immobile and unresponsive, lying next to a still-running treadmill. Paramedics were called, they took him to Baptist Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after 2 pm. No crime is suspected. Isaac Hayes was 65 years old.

Does speechless count for the next two paragraphs?

R.I.P. to a soul music legend.

Here’s the hard-hitting “Walk on By”..

what we’re all doing on this green globe. One love, Isaac.

More sadness….unbelievable-back to back losses in our community.  Rest in Peace Isaac.  “I Stand Accused” is my all time favorite Isaac Hayes song-what a voice& what a tremendous talent.  God bless your family.
