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.

May you rest in peace, you are with God. May God Bless your entire family, friends and fans. Your legacy is still here, and I love your music, but my favorite song is “I Stand Accused”, then Shaft. May you rest in perfect peace

I saw Isaac Hayes two years ago at the Capitol Jazz Festival and he still drew a crowd and his performance was outstanding, just like it was in the 70’s. I am truly grateful for having the opportunity to see him then. He will truly be missed but his music will be with us forever. May his soul rest in peace and God bless his family.
Issac Hayes was a legend and he will be greatly missed. He reminded me so much of my Uncle Eddie, May they both RIP. God Bless the family.
My prayers go out to the family. My god kept you in these times.
May the God of mercy provide all that you will need during these sad times. The bible says that , “It is appointed for man to die,and then the judgement”. Rememer that God is close to those with a broken heart and a contrite spirit. Be comforted to know that he lived a wondeful life and touched many with his music and his love for people.
