Wow what a weekend. First one of the Kings of Comedy's comedic masters Bernie Mac passes away on Saturday, August 9th and then soul legend Issac Hayes today. Both great losses to the entertainment industry. Ironically both Bernie Mac and Issac Hayes are set to star in the Movie "Soul Men"coming out November 14, 2008. Issac Hayes was a soul-funk singer, producer, arranger, song writer, composer, musician and actor. Along with making classic hits like, "Walk on by," Issac Hayes composed music scores for motion pictures. His most known work was the score from the 1971 movie Shaft which earned him an Academy Award for best original song. Issac Hayes was the first African American to receive an Academy Award for a non acting category. I will always remember his role in one of my favorite movies "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka...."He was a legend in the music industry and will be greatly missed...
