RIP Isaac Hayes

Sad news to report: Soul Legend Isaac Hayes has died today.  A relative found Hayes lying beside his treadmill at home unresponsive.  He was declared dead an hour later at Baptist East Hospital in Memphis.

Isaac Hayes was a songwriter, musician, and actor.  He did the voice of Chef on the TV cartoon show called "South Park." He was 65 years old.

He was just ten days shy of his 66th birthday (August 20).

RIP

I cried when I heard the news on the radio today.
