Soul legend Isaac Hayes dies - CNN.com

Soul singer and arranger Isaac Hayes, who won Grammy awards and an Oscar for the theme from the 1971 action film "Shaft," has died, sheriff's officials in Memphis, Tennessee, reported Sunday.

Relatives found Hayes, 65, unconscious in his home next to a still-running treadmill, said Steve Shular, 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.

A soul legend indeed.

I really love his covers of the Burt Bachrach hits, 'Walk On By' and 'The Look Of Love', both very original versions.

Haye's was a prolific songwiter at the old Stax record label and authored the platinum selling song 'Soul Man'.

In his prime in the early 70's his unique basso voice made just about everything he recorded a soul masterpiece.

Thanks brother Isaac, rip.
