R.I.P. Isaac Hayes 1942-2008!
According to Sheriff officials in Memphis Tennesee, R&B Soul legend, Isaac Hayes has passed away at the age of 65. Hayes, who’s best known for his work on the epic movie soundtrack, Shaft, was found unconscious next to a still running treadmill in his Memphis, Tennessee home.

There is really nothing i can add that hasn’t already been stated.
These brothers will truly be missed i mean truly missed.
On another note -i was reading the Chicago Tribune about B. Mac, and how the people of Chicago was shocked about his passing.
On the same page there were 11 shootings on the southside of Chicago.
We are losing our brothers fast to either disease, or heart attacks and we are losing them just as fast to the streets….
Please! Please! Please! wake up brothers! wake up!!!!!
