: LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Oscar-winning soul singer Isaac Hayes who, along with Al Green, James Brown and Stevie Wonder, was one of the dominant black artists in the early 1970s, died in Memphis on Sunday, his friend and former manager, Onzie Horne, said. Hayes was 65.
Horne told Reuters that he had spoken to Hayes' wife, who confirmed that Hayes was found unconscious at his home, and rushed to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Hayes, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, would have turned 66 on August 20.
The deep-voiced performer reached his commercial peak in 1972 when he won an Academy Award for his No. 1 hit "Theme from 'Shaft,'" an irresistibly urgent mix of wah-wah guitars and hi-hat cymbals spiced by the famous line, "They say this cat Shaft is a bad mother-/Shut your mouth!"
Long before he became a soul singer, Hayes was a hitmaker at Memphis soul label Stax Records. He collaborated with lyricist David Porter to write and produce songs for the combustible soul duo Sam and Dave, including "Soul Man" and "Hold On! I'm A Comin'."
With his shaved head, dark shades, extravagant clothing and plentiful jewelry, Hayes was groomed as a star in his own right by Stax executives. He released his debut album, the poor-selling "Presenting Isaac Hayes," in 1968. He broke through the following year with "Hot Buttered Soul," which contained just four songs but sold over a million copies.
His work on director Gordon Parks' urban crime drama "Shaft," a project he had hoped to star in, was the first of many forays into movie soundtracks. He got in front of the camera for the 1974 cult classic "Truck Turner" and had kept busy with film work ever since, recently appearing in the hip-hop drama "Hustle & Flow."
In his later years, Hayes reached a new audience by supplying the voice for Chef, the libidinous sage on the cartoon series "South Park." But he left the show a few years ago because he disagreed with its attacks on Scientology, the religious movement to which he belonged.
Walk on By...
On of my all-time favorite songs. The instrumentals are sick!
Yeah, I just heard about this; My head is still kinda spinning over the news of Bernie being gone. R.I.P. Isaac... They said that they found him by his treadmill unresponsive. My condolences go out to his friends and family.
Some say that death come in threes. Is that true?
R.I.P. mr. hayes, here is just some of his works:

R.I.P Isaac Hayes & Bernie Mac...Make sure everyone watch both of them in the upcoming movie Soul Men on Nov 14...Two former backup soul singers Louis (Samuel L. Jackson) and Floyd (Bernie Mac) travel cross country to perform at a tribute concert in honor of their famous former band leader. They haven't spoken to each other in 20 years but reluctantly agree to travel together for the tribute performance. Both Jackson and Mac will do their own musical and dance performing in the film. -

Brace yourselves my fellow bloggers...allegedly death knocks three times. I was never crazy for his music but I always respected the brotha and I am touched by the news. R.I.P to the "man" and my condolences to his loved ones. we seem to lose more black celebrities than any other race...whats going on?
Wow, Rest In Peace Brother. I remember back in 2000 when I was living in a penthouse condo at the Rivermark in Memphis and Isaac had a penthouse condo on the same floor as mine. I saw him one time leaving the building and I was entering the building and he was with a very bad supermodel looking chick!
Peace Brother, you was a cool dude!
WOW! This is sad. First Bernie mac now Isaac Hayes. This man was truly a gifted musician. I can remember when I was a kid, my daddy would have these Isaac Hayes records and I would listen to them while they were playing. Some of his best work is the theme from *** which won him an Oscar and Grammy, I Stand Accused and By The Time I Get To Phoenix. RIP Isaac. You were definitely a bad ***...*** yo mouth!
@Candy_D_Lite: Yeah, that WAS wrong. What's Flav got to do with this? When you're grieving for 1 - well, 2 in this case, why wish ill on another? That's not cool.
@Wannano: Give everybody a chance to respond before you attack, please. We're just learning about Mr. Hayes as the celeb world is. You can safely bet that all will respond to these 2 gentleman over the next few days.
WOW...OUR LIVES ARE SO *** UNPREDICATBLE...

I didn't know he was a scientologist. The only thing I really know him well from is South Park. Just a few minutes ago I was cracking on my compadre Mitchell whom reminds me of the Chef. Wow...I hope he was content with his life and I hope he knew what the hell he was talking about with that Scientology ***. If there is a heaven, I hope he went to the right palce
@1hotfiremarshall
First of all, I wouldn't exactly say that she wasn't interested, somebody just got to her before I did! Secondly, that little *** don't compare to losing Bernie and Isaac, so to me I only had 2 bad thangs happen this weekend. The loss of Bernie and Isaac! But what? You wanna holla though? LOL You watching me awfully close. Don't be scared. Do you! LMAO I will turn your little young *** out! Real talk!
MTO administrators or whoever overseas this site, these are the very situations that makes me disappointed with you.
Here, you have IGNORAMOUS, JungleTlTs, desecrating a CONDOLENCE thread for Isaac Hayes & the derogatory posts don't even get deleted!! Yet, you, MTO, deleted the profanity Xfactor used to describe the IGNORAMOUS.
However, you did NOT delete the blatant use of the '***' word by the IGNORAMOUS!!! HUNH???
Very sad. Me and my husband were driving home from dinner last *** and his song came on. Then on our way to dinner driving down Sunset Blvd we passed by the laugh factory where there was a tribute to Bernie Mac. I am saddened by this he is a legend . I could not believe it. Two major legends. They go in 3's Morgans life was spared.
Oh, have heard of his name for long. But didn't know himself. He did a great job in this. I know his affairs are warmly discussed at the interracial dating club on " I *** t e r r a c i a l L o v i *** g . C o M" where Men or Women can meet many sexual black and white girls or boys who love sports and music. Many girls love it very much.
Its like i lost 2 of my favorite funny uncles this weekend. First Bernie now Isaac. Im not sure if people realize how versatile Isaac Hayes was. A musical genius but also as a comedic and dramatic actor. From sinister bad guys to a funny song singing chef. He contributed to countless soundtracks for films and television R.I.P Mr.Hayes thanks for the music and entertaining millions
WOW THIS HAS BEEN A SAD WEEK FIRST BERNIE NOW.. THE CREATOR OF THE *** SONG...
"WHO IS THE MAN WHO WILL GO OUT FOR HIS BROTHER MANNNNNNNN ***" YA DAMNNNN RIGHT....
ALL WE CAN DO IS LIVE ON AND BECOME POSITIVE PEOPLE.... ITS TIME TO STOP WORRYING ABOUT SMALL UNIMPORTANT THINGS AND VALUE LIFE BECAUSE IT REALLY IS TOO ***... IT MAKES ME THINK ABOUT IT MORE OFTEN NOW... GOD BLESS HIS FAMILY AND HIS SON IKE DIRTY.....
OH YEA ADD ME ON MYSPACE...... THE LINK IS RIGHT THERE VVVVVVVVVVV
