According to CNN, Soul singer and actor Isaac Hayes, who won Grammy awards and an Oscar for the theme from the 1971 action film “Shaft,” has died.
Relatives found Hayes, 65, unconscious in his Tennessee home next to a still-running treadmill, said Steve Schular, a spokesman for the Shelby County Sheriff’s Department. Paramedics attempted to revive him and took him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after 2 p.m., the sheriff’s department said.
No foul play is suspected, the agency said in a written statement.
Coincidently, Issac Hayes is co-starring in the upcoming movie Soul Men with Bernie Mac, who passed away on Saturday from Pneumonia.
RIP to a true music/actor pioneer.

This has been a shitty weekend.
I hope Morgan Freeman pulls through.
GOD BRINGING IN HIS SOLDIERS!
Smh- this is a sad weekend. Rest In Peace.
2 Beauuuuuutiful souls are gone now?
The Lord is calling all the Good Ones home this weekend huh? WOW!
In the past I remember hearing that Isaac Hayes was in & out of the Hospital, for health reasons. He must have been on the treadmill prior to his collapse (maybe suffered a heart attack). Nonetheless, that is still very sad to hear that we lost a MUSIC LEGEND & a COMIC LEGEND at damn near the same time.
WOW! wait until my mother hears this one when she gets back from church today. BERNIE & now ISAAC, gone now!?!?!
RIP ISAAC HAYES.
R.I.P. Issac Hayes
noo way
what’s happening in the world seriously
first bernie, now issac who’s next?!
wow. too many legends lost in a weekend.
thats so sad.
I pray God’s blessing on the families of Bernie Mac, and Isaac Hayes.
I am so glad we still have Morgan Freeman. It’s odd that he himself went to the hospital a few days ago for a escaping death in a major car accident. And then Bernie Mac dies and now ISSAC HAYES?
This really is too much. May their souls rest in perfect peace.
RIP TO BERNIE MAC AND ISAAC HAYES. THIS IS A WAKE UP CALL TO ALL OF US. GET THAT NEGATIVEY OUT YOUR SYSTEM AND START LIVING RIGHT. YOU HERE ONE DAY AND GONE THE NEXT. LOVE YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR FRIENDS. STOP THE BULLSHIT AND ENJOY LIFE. LOVE YOU MOMMY 4/15/55-03/07/08
RIP to Isaac Hayes…
