Isaac Hayes Dies at 65



I'm officially depressed. First Bernie Mac and now Isaac Hayes??? I cannot take it.

Oh yeah, if you're at work, maybe don't play that video. Unless you're a fan of chocolate salty balls and need the recipe.

Yes, I know he did Shaft first, but Chef is just near and dear to my heart. Live with it.

Anywho, back to seriousness. Nobody knows what happened yet.

Hayes was pronounced dead at Baptist East Hospital in Memphis an hour after he was found by a family member, the Shelby County Sheriff's Office said. The cause of death was not immediately known.With his muscular build, shiny head and sunglasses, Hayes cut a striking figure at a time when most of his contemporaries were sporting Afros. His music, which came to be known as urban-contemporary, paved the way for disco as well as romantic crooners like Barry White.

I heard somewhere his wife found him collapsed next to a treadmill in the couple's home and dialed 911.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Back to the funny: Has someone taken Samuel L. Jackson to a safehouse yet? Because he's the only survivor from that movie Soul Men left and I could not bear a third death this week.

Because he deserves it:
