The music world has lost an nostalgic, prolific icon and my condolences goes out to the friends and families of a music legend. Growing up, i must say my love for music came from Isaac Hayes, as well as other music legends that have gone on before him. In this time of grief, we have to reflect on the life and times of Mr. Hayes, and thank God for blessing us with a man who could touch our very souls when we are down with his music.
Mr. Isaac Hayes, gone but not forgotten.
Just wanted to send prayers to the hayes family especially his youngest child. R.I.P. Black Moses. Man my favored song was I Stand Accused he was on trial for loving his woman… Wow what a song.

Most anybody over 50 will always know and remember the genius and greatness of Isaac Hayes. Man we came of age with his music. My favorite piece of music by him is on the Hot Buttered Soul entiled Walk On By. Omg was I the only one who played the instrumental intro to that song over and over and over again? He made everyone want to hang a chain around their neck…. He stood as the epitome of what one aspect of Black manhood represented…. I’m 53 now and was blessed to see his rise and claim to immortality. I always make sure the Hot Buttered Soul is nearby. The first 50 seconds of Walk On By was so mind blowing for me that I would experiece an awakening of sorts…. and lets not forget his royal manner…..he was born under the sun sign of Leo and he represented us leos very well…he showed the pride…the regalness…the majesty…did he not look like a king in those robes that he wore? He was magnificent. He even showed his humorous side playing the voice of Chef in on South Park. He was truly brilliant and a talent like no other.
To the Hayes family, our condolences goes out to you, we never expect these moments but God planes over all and any planes we precived to have for our loveones, but just know that I am a loyal fan of Mr.Hayes and ” I Stand Aquised of Loving you” all ,May God Bless and keep you
To the Hayes family,my condolences and my prayers are with you and May God bless you and keep you
