He was one bad Mother...shut your mouth

I’m becoming a Death Blog, but more sad news to report.

Music legend Isaac Hayes has passed away.

Check out the news here.

((Hayes, best known for his pop/R&B classic ''Theme From Shaft'' and more recently as the voice of Chef on South Park, was found next to an active treadmill by relatives, according to reports from the Shelby County Sheriff's Department in Memphis, Tennessee. Attempts to revive the singer were unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead in Memphis shortly after 2 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. ))

One thing was certain; Hayes wasn't in the best of health after his stroke, which is sad because he took care of his body in his later years.

Like James Brown, his music has influenced many rappers and R&B singers of my lifetime and will continue to. I still listen to his Shaft theme song in my car just to pump me up (that and the Knight Rider theme).

As a movie fan, I remembered enjoying his role in Escape from New York as The Duke and his cameo in Escape from L.A. However, young people will remember him from South Park.

While I disagreed with his association with the Church of Scientology, I can’t forget the impact he had on pop culture. (I have to wonder how much cash Scientology conned out of him though.)

Make sure to check out his IMDB page, you'll be surprised what shows and movies he's been in. (A-Team, Hunter and Miami Vice)

Coming in November, he will be in a movie with the late Bernie Mac and Samuel L. Jackson called Soul Men.

You're The Duke, Isaac Hayes. RIP

Damn right
