R.I.P Isaac Hayes, Passes at 65

Posted by Bossip Staff

This is turning to be a very sad weekend. Isaac Hayes passed today at age 65:

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, said Sunday. Relatives found Hayes unconscious in his home next to a still-running treadmill. Paramedics attempted to revive him and took him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Our prayers go out to the Hayes family.

Classic Isaac Hayes and Chris Rock under the hood

    Damn!!! Two legends in two days?!WTF?? To all of u who dont know that Mr. Hayes was a legend just listen to the entire Shaft(the original) soundtrack & his body of work.. This is sad,the messed up thing about it is that someone will be getting overlooked when two major figures die but I will say R.I.P to both and they both can be an inspiration to us because they lead their lives to the fullest and both flipped their doe to become more successful.

    Damn, that’s messed up. I remember seeing and hearing his records that my folks had when I was a kid and He use to crack me up when he did the voice of Chef on Southpark. R.I.P Isaac Hayes!


  19. I’m from Memphis. Isaac Hayes is like, Memphis royalty. I’m shocked. But I guess we all have to go sometime. I loved Isaac regardless his religion-he made good music, so I wish the best to his family, and hopes he rest in peace.

    I was listening to Isaac’s version of ‘Walked on by’ when I found out…

  20. Divab

    OMG!!! OHH NOOO Aww This is a sad weekend. Jesus take the wheel.

    RIP Isaac! DAMN!

  21. Aoki Lee

    The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office says a family member found Hayes unresponsive near a treadmill on Sunday. He was *****ounced dead about an hour later at Baptist East Hospital in Memphis. The cause of death was not immediately known.

    In the early 1970s, Hayes laid the groundwork for disco, for what became known as urban-contemporary music and for romantic crooners like Barry White. And he was rapping before there was rap.

    His career hit another high in 1997 when he became the voice of Chef, the sensible school cook and devoted ladies man on the animated TV show “South Park.”

  22. nijah fox

    this is crazy. I cant believe it. RIP to two great legends

  62. R.I.P Isaac Hayes

  63. Black.Woman.4.Obama

    Dre

    Isaac Hayes is the guy who did ‘Shaft’. He wrote ‘Soulsville’, which I believe is Memphis theme song-and he did his soul music with a smooth voice-’By the time I get to Phoenix’ ‘Walk on by’ I can go on! I am from Memphis, so it’s more personal for me, but to each her own-I will miss this brother! :(

  64. E

    Lauren,

    You’ve got some serious reading comprehension problems. I promised to sit down if you promise to go back to school.

  65. marteaus

    wow@dre you dont know who is is?? I’m guessing your probably a child im pretty sure youve heard some of his music and just didnt know it was him but he was in some movies too and south park in played chef

  66. Graphixmeister

    I hate y’all. When I think I’m all witty and everything and get ready to write a good line, somebody always beat me to it. Just shut up, Aoki Lee – just SHUT UP! (That ‘He was a bad *****…’ was my line). You done messed me up like a silent fart.

  67. ladyt

    im going to really miss him on south park…

  68. ladyt

    @Graphixmeister

    LOL its going to be ok just breath…damn

  69. Graphixmeister

    Right now Morgan Freeman is feeling like he’s the luckiest man on earth. (Whew! Goddamn, that was close.)


  70. RIP Brotha Isaac.

    Now I know it has been a wise decision to sit my butt down at those times when I felt like I was dying while doing cardio. I always thought I was just a weakling.

  71. Bill Bigsby

    WTF IS GOING ON!!!

  72. Graphixmeister

    Who’s gonna be the third??? Well, I wouldn’t wanna be the one to give anybody bad luck but y’all see how shaky Al Green looked at the ‘BET Awards’? He done escaped death already with them hot grits. I’m just sayin’…

  73. glok9n

    ISAAC HAYES! I’LL TRY TO BE AS RESPECTFUL AS I CAN ,SCIENTOLOGY,IS NOT THE WAY OF THE CREATOR,SO MAY GOD THE ALMIGHTY REST YOUR SOUL,I’LL HOPE AND PRAY THAT YOU FIND THE TRUE LIGHT THAT GAVE YOU THE ABILITY TO SHINE AND MAKE MUSIC FOR THE WORLD TO COME AND MAY YOUR FAMILY ACCEPT OUR HEARTS AND PRAYERS, GOD SPEED BROTHA!

  74. Uncle Ruckus

    AT least he aint died of AIDS or homocide

  75. ladyt

    what is going on with people today…making this death a joke? I guess God is coming back sooner than i thought…

  76. Ariona

    RIP isaac, i still listen to walk on by and the look of love, he was also on the legendary stax records, by the way im only 17 and i know all of this

  77. Virgo911

    God works in mysterious ways…always has and always will. Isaac was one of the coolest artists and was a musical genius. I saw a do*****entary a couple of months ago about the infamous Stax Records. He wrote and collaborated with artists such as Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett and Sam & Dave. My prayers are with his family and friends.

  78. Graphixmeister

    Lighten up, ladyt. Different people deal with death differently. Isaac Hayes was too cool to want to have people boo-hooing over him. He spent the last days of his life as a Black cartoon running around calling little White boys ‘crackas.’ Now that man had a sense of humor.

  79. Nicole

    They say it comes in three’s. I pray this is not true because we lost two amazing talents this weekend. I am still trying to grasp the fact that Bernie Mac has p*****ed and now Isaac Hayes. It makes you remember just how short life is. I know yesterday Isaac learned of Bernie Mac’s p*****ing and was shell shocked like the rest of us. But I bet never did the thought cross his mind that he would die the very next day. Love your family and live your life to the fullest. You never know what day will be your last. RIP Bernie Mac & Isaac Hayes.

    was that too me…?

  87. Graphixmeister

    That last comment of mine was geared towards you so-called ‘Black Woman 4 Obama.’ I thought the possibility was high you are too stupid to figure it out.

  88. Uncle Ruckus

    RIP to the murder victims

  89. Graphixmeister

    No, ladyt. I like you. You have cl*****.

  90. Niecy

    “im going to really miss him on south park…” ladyt

    Issac was a scientologist and quit the show when they made fun of tom cruise and scientology.


  91. I will offend some people on this blog, but I do not care, because if you thought enough to write it, then I have the right to respond as I see fit. This chatter about how death comes in 3’s is cruel. Very cruel. Why is that necessary to say?

    My mother p*****ed in February 2008. I got so *****ed (actually, I am still *****ed) when people asked nosy-***** questions about my mother p*****ing-and not one asked me how she was feeling emotionally before her death, or they made *****umptions without even seeing her death certificate! I hate that *****! Shut the hell up about ‘These thing comes in threes’ because that ***** is NOT ***** Isaac’s or Bernie’s family wants to hear right now!!!! I certainly didn’t want to hear it!!!

  92. Graphixmeister

    Ooo, you got too much time on your hands….

  93. ladyt

    @Graphixmeister

    thanks boo.

    @Niecy

    i though he came back…?


  94. I’ve lost many people in my life, and the last thing I want to hear is how someone thinks someone else is going to die, or when. I think that type of conversation is uncalled for-for no one can say who can live or die except Him ^! It’s hard not to ask God ‘why’, but to accept losing people that you know you loved with all your might, and when I see people making light of people’s deaths, I take offense to it.

  95. LdyK

    I am so stunned to hear this news. Isaac Hayes and Bernie Mac. Rest in Peace. I cannot take anymore sad news this weekend.

  96. Uncle Ruckus

    RIP to da black community

    I apogolize toy ou and Graphixmeister. My mother said that stuff all the time, and Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes-she loved them both for what they did. I don’t mean no harm.

  110. Its6amHoGetOut

    Now they gotta have a funeral for chef on south park

  111. STOP TRIPPING!

    dang! these folks are dropping like flies!

  112. Graphixmeister

    Read carefully and, damn it, strain to understand, Black Woman 4 Obama, I doubt very seriously Isaac Hayes’ family or Bernie Mac’s, for that matter, is going to be consulting Bossip days after their loved one dies for comfort from strangers. Uhm, call it a hunch. Understand the forum for what it is – people come here to shoot the *****. Nothing more; nothing less. If you come here to bare your soul, people are gonna laugh at you. Don’t be a dumb*****.

  113. Its6amHoGetOut

    Black people leave the fatty soul food alone.

  114. Its6amHoGetOut

    Isaac hayes is dead, but Soldier Boy, D4L, Nelly, Jeezy, Joc, Boosie, Gucci mane and Slim thug are all alive and breathing? wheres the justice in that?

    Bernie is dead, but Martin lawrence, cedric the entertainer, steve harvey and the Wayan’s are all alive?

    Whats this world coming too?

  115. MissBeethe1

    @ its 6am

    Hows it going ? where have u been ?

    but 4 real I was think the same thing about Chef, I guess he will have to retire.

    This is a sad day in history 2 greats gone in 2 days Rip Issac Hayes

  116. Its6amHoGetOut

    I really hate ghetto comedy.

  117. Graphixmeister

    Now, lookie heah. Y’all stop showing your age by giving out a history lesson about Stax, ‘Shaft’, ‘Walk On By,’ ‘I Stand Accused’ and what not. Them youngun’s ain’t gonna know what you’re talking about. Just say he played ‘Chef’ on ‘South Park.’ I guarantee you 9 times out of 10, they’ll get it.

  118. Demi Lee

    The crazy thing is that Bernie Mac and Issac Hayes were working on a project together before their deaths…very sad.

  119. LdyK

    @ Graphixmeister no one is going to laugh but the immature. Like you said people come to “shoot the *****” or in better terms share things.

    Everybody needs to lighten up

  120. Its6amHoGetOut

    @ Miss beethe,

    Ive decided im only gonna come in here when something is really, really interesting.

    I dont care if Im gone off here for two-twenty weeks, Im only gonna comment when it strikes me.

    Another black man gone. My father used to say that black men need to get their social security at an earlier age, because they don’t live long enough to enjoy it. So true. My dad died at 64, BMac at 50 and Isaac at 65. Isaac was exercising, too. I hate that. Prayers for the family.

    Its6amHoGetOut, I was about to chastise you for that last statement – but dangit, I stopped in my tracks. I can’t decide if what you said was a bad idea or not. (I have a serious probably with that 6 foot plus brutha wearing that old woman’s dress.)

  137. Its6amHoGetOut

    @ Graphix,

    Heres the rundown of every past, present and future Tyler Perry low budget but full admission price movie.

    Black family

    Husband cheats on wife

    One smart kid

    One kid with a smart mouth

    One kid about to be lost to the streets

    Women are never at fault

    Wife takes husband back after she *****s a younger *****.

    Wife eventually kicks husband out.

    Tyler perry makes appearance as grandmother.

    Bye everyone!

  142. Luscious

    RIP Mr Hayes… There’s a song he has, it’s called Nothing Takes The Place Of You and indeed nothing will take your place, or noone, you were original..

  143. Graphixmeister

    Black men have to get together and exercise their power and VOTE. The Russians are acting up again and straining relations with the U.S. Better watch out or another fool in office like George Bush is gonna be sending your sons off to war. They’re talking about that in the news right now as I type.

  144. Ugly in Los Angeles

    R.I.P. Mr. Hayes. . .and thanks for the great music.

  145. Black, yet very well educated

    Stop imposing christ-like “RIP” nonsense upon Isaac. He was a freethinking scientologist and as such will be a collection of superneuron dust particles back in the cosmic galaxy of his machination.

  146. Graphixmeister

    I just hope his family are not the kind of simpletons who will try to sue the manufacturer of the treadmill for Isaac’s death.

    And when a scientologist dies, does that organization have any claim over his estate? Anybody know?


  147. RIP CHEF …(SOUTH PARK)

    Graphix of course scientology can’t claim his estate by default. However hopefully he has left them a nice big chunk of his fortune so they can continue to liberate minds from the slave religion most within the negro culture follow.

  149. Graphixmeister

    I was brought up under that ’slave religion most within the negro culture follow’ but O, my God, I gotta say – the best thing a Black kid can do for himself is get a college education. Nothing liberates the mind more than reading the works of Machiavelli, Nietzche, and the great philosophers. I’m a late bloomer but going back to school was one of the best things I’ve ever done. It’s rather poignant but I’m having a hard time finding a professor who buys into religion. Educated people understand the danger of having governments condition the populus to think and behave a certain way.


  150. bossip..YOU are so late!

    I think that it was possibly a heart attack or a stroke.

    What make it so bad..He just married his wife and they just had a son 2 years ago! my prayers are with him and his family!

    It is one big party in heaven!

    MEMPHIS (AP) — Isaac Hayes and his wife are the parents of a baby boy, the couple announced Tuesday.

    Nana Kwadjo Hayes was born April 10 and weighed 8 pounds, 5 ounces, spokesman Rob Moore said.

    In the Ghanaian language, Nana means “King,” and Kwadjo (*****ounced “Kwo-Jo”) means “boy born on Monday.”

    In 1992, Hayes was coronated an honorary king of the Ada district of Ghana for his humanitarian work.

    Kwadjo is Hayes’ fourth son and the first with wife Adjowa.

    The 63-year-old soul singer and actor is best known for his recordings with Stax Records in Memphis and his 1971 No. 1 hit Theme From Shaft, from the Richard Roundtree film Shaft. The soundtrack also won the Oscar for best musical score.

    More recently, he was the voice of the character Chef on the TV show South Park, until he quit the role in a disagreement over the show’s treatment of his faith, Scientology.

  154. Black, yet very well educated

    I’ll throw up an ironic “amen” to that graphix. It is like taking a breath of fresh air to be exposed to educated informed logic after being trapped in a sick poisoned culture like ours.

    If only more of us could break free we might start getting somewhere, but don’t count on it sadly…

  155. E

    @Black, yet very well educated…

    Obivously you got your education from the Scientologists.


  156. jesus has makes a point in everything he do,,

    we need to respect, jesus,and his ward because

    he is not playing we all fall short in the

    GLORY OF GOD,,WE NEED TO CALL ON HIS NAME

    EVERYDAY,,NOT ONLY WHEN THERE IS A P*****ING,,,DEATH

  157. Black, yet very well educated

    I have studied scientology and respect the self improvement and ambition of it. The beliefs certainly are more progressive than the master’s slave religion that kept us down in our place.

    However I the only tag that applies to me on religious fairytales is atheist.

  158. Frog-a-licious

    Damn!!!!!!!!!! R.I.P. Condolences goes out to his family. Didn’t he just have a baby too? Sad…….

  167. myzz b hayvin

    I knew Isaac personally. He and my uncle worked together since before shaft came out. When my uncle got the call that Isaac was dead he went over to the house and the treadmill was still running. He was preparing for a live concert that was gonna take place Thursday in Memphis. He will be missed……………..


  168. Does it really matter what someone believes,

    we live in a country where we have a choice to believe in anything or anyone we want. this is why we are so divided because of religion we are so sure that ones religion is the only way it makes us hate one another.so respect MR Hayes and others..

    P.S GOD IS EVEYWHERE

    Yes, it’s hard to believe that another icon has p*****ed from this life to the next. I grew up listening to Isaac (Shaft soundtrack was off the chain!) What a weekend this has been. Much sorrow going on.

    My condolences to the family, friends, and *****ociates of Mr. Hayes during this most sorrowful time.

  196. WordtotheWise

    It is so weird b/c on Isaac Hayes website, there is a picture of Bernie, Isaac, and Samuel L. Jackson. I knew they were in that Soul Men movie together, but it’s very weird to see them standing next to each other not knowing they both would be gone less than 24 hours apart. Very, very sad.

  197. Hannibal

    SO ARE U SAYIN THAT SAMUEL L. JACKSON IS GONNA DIE TOMORROW?!

  198. Rozza♥

    @Braided: Nooooo! Not another one – one day apart!

  199. Rozza♥

    You absolutely can NOT think of Shaft without thinking of Isaac Hayes. Not at all. Even as Chef from South Park he was the funniest part of the show.

  200. Hannibal

    I DISAGREE, YOU CAN NOT THINK OF SHAFT WITHOUT THINKING OF SAMUEL L. JACKSON!

  201. WordtotheWise

    No Hannibal, I’m not saying that. I was just saying it’s weird seeing them side by side, both not knowing their destiny.

  202. E

    Samuel L. Jackson is the world’s most under-rated actor – black or white. He should have at least 10 Oscars by now. Please Sam, get a checkup – quick!!!

  203. Hannibal

    WELL ALL I’M SAYIN IS, SAMUEL L. JACKSON BETTER WATCH OUT BECUZ HE MIGHT BE NEXT!

  204. Rozza♥

    Isaac Hayes won an Oscar and two Grammys for the Shaft score, I believe, long before Samuel Jackson was Shaft. So – I can think of Shaft without thinking of Mr. Jackson.

  205. Amber

    RIP Isaac Hayes & Bernice Mac

    hey you guys.you guys jesus is going to take care of him.all of us are going to die.there is no one on this plant that is going to live on this earth and anyways,we proble dont even want to live on this earth because god is coming back and make sure you bealive in god because you dont know whenever you die and this is the quuestion i always ask myself.if i would have died tonight would i go to heven or hell.soo i hope that he bealived in god.

    I purchased the cl*****ic Isaac Hayes collector’s edition yesterday. This is unbelievable. I played all of Ike’s music during college. I believe Ike’s voices was much better than Barry White. This is really painful news and unexpected. RIP

    Of course its a sign from Katrina and beyond you got thatr part but that sitll makes it a CONSPIRACY if God is conspiring it.

    I see my comment about him being a SCIENTOLOGIST got deleted so it might be deeper than we thought unless I overlooked it. We not gone metion his catalogue for his songs like James Brown, Ray Charles, Gerald levert, Roger Troutman and his brother and Rick James.

    YOU THINK ITS A COICNCIDENE ITS MEXICANS AND OTHER FOREIGNERS IN THIS COUNTRY TAKING JOBS WORKING FOR *****?

    The SAME people that heated up the East Coast West Coast feud is trying to start a m*****ive kill campain between Blacks and Mexicans like they did with the *****es and Sunnis in I-rack(spell blunder on purpose). ITs not working so here comes BIRD FLU/and ther viruses, I mean small pox like they gave the indians…..

    Tell the truth. But people dont want to hear that, but its truth. Its sad that either people do not care, they are scared, or preoccupied with their lives so much that they wont confront the problem. You see the comments when Prodigy talks. Its time for a Revolution!

  232. Ti

    Wow this is truly sad..may Isaac and Bernie rest in eternal peace.I know that everybody has their own opinions about society,death etc but there is no need for bashing other celebrities by saying “how is such and such still alive and Isaac’s not,everybody has a certain amount of time to come to earth to do what was planned out for them and they leave this earth and return to heaven after they have done what they needed to do on this earth..NO ONE is here to stay..period.It doesn’t matter whether it’s tomorrow,ten years,30 years or whatever..everyone’s time is coming..Death is never an accident because every single person’s life is mapped out before we come to earth.People always saying that Morgan Freeman and others who survive devastating accidents are “lucky”but in reality it wasn’t meant for them to leave this earth at that time..and for anyone that p*****es away it was their time to go back home..which is heaven..and people p***** away everyday all over the world..not just celebrities,but because celebrities are on t.v. it seems like they are the only ones who are p*****ing away.Whomever is making fun of death..just know that your time is coming..and just know that someone you love will p***** away and it won’t be so funny then..sure deaths can be tragic,sad,shocking and more,but no one can or will escape death and whatever happens it was meant to be

    This was Issac’s best line reading on South Park. This ***** was so Gangsta -

    “Why would God let Kenny die, Chef? Why? Kenny’s my friend. Why can’t God take someone else’s friend?”

    “Stan, sometimes God take those closest to us, because it makes him feel better about Himself. He’s a very vengeful God, Stan. He’s all *****ed off about something we did thousands of years ago. He just can’t get over it. So he doesn’t care who he takes — children, puppies, it doesn’t matter to him, so long as it makes us sad. Do you understand?”

    “Then why does God give us anything to start with?”

    “Well, look at it this way: if you want to make a baby cry, first you give it a lollipop, then you take it away. If you never give it a lollipop to begin with, then it would have nothing to cry about. That’s like God, who gives us life and love and health just so that he can tear it all away and make us cry, so he can drink the sweet milk of our tears…You see, it’s our tears, Stan, that give God his great power.”

    “I think I understand.”

    From The Sound Track and video from the motion picture “Dead Presidents”, Performed by Mr. Issac Hayes:

    Walk on By:

    If you see me walking down the street

    And I start to cry each time we meet

    Walk on by, walk on by

    Make believe that you don’t see the tears

    Oh just let me grieve

    In private ’cause each time I see you

    I break down and cry

    Oh baby, walk on by

    Mmm

    I just can’t get over losing you

    So if I seem broken in two

    Please walk on by, walk on by

    Foolish pride is all that I have left

    Top40db: The most accurate lyrics site on the net.

    So let me hide

    The tears and the sadness you gave me

    You put the hurt on

    You socked it to me, momma

    When you said goodbye

    So please walk on by

    Make believe you never see the tears I cry

    So do me a favor and walk on by

    So I’m beggin’ you to walk on by

    Oh yeah

    Make believe you never see the tears I cry

    So I’m beggin’ you, I’m beggin’ you to walk on by

    Make believe you never see the tears I cry

    Oh, there’s no dirt in my eye

    Oh no

    Smoking don’t you me cry no no no (???)

    It’s the hurt you put on me, yeah

    I don’t want you to see this man cry

    So please walk on by

    Oh mother, mother, walk on by

    By the Time I get to Phoenix:

    By the time I get to Phoenix she’ll be rising

    She’ll find the note I left hangin’ on her door

    She’ll laugh when she reads the part that says I’m leavin’

    ‘Cause I’ve left that girl so many times before

    By the time I make Albuquerque she’ll be working

    She’ll prob’ly stop at lunch and give me a call

    But she’ll just hear that phone keep on ringin’

    Off the wall that’s all

    By the time I make Oklahoma she’ll be sleepin’

    She’ll turn softly and call my name out loud

    And she’ll cry just to think I’d really leave her

    Tho’ time and time I try to tell her so

    She just didn’t know I would really go.

  244. as seen on t.v. (R.I.P. K-Swift)

    For some reason all I can think about is the video for Bone, Thugs and Harmony’s “Crossroads”. The part where they were walking and everyone around them was disappearing. God Bless Issac Hayes, Bernie Mac and their families and friends.

  245. so much to say (always late to the game...oh well...

    Now that I paid my respects. People deal with death differently. Some people grieve, some laugh, some just go in plain denial, and some just act plain ignorant.

    How many people have been to a funeral, wake or rep*****e where a family member showed out.

    They fell out, whooped and hollered, cussed everybody out. Tried to fight other relatives, started blabbing all of the family secrets, etc.

    That’s all that’s happening on here. As many others said, relax. People on here show a pattern. Ignore the ones whose patterns you can’t get into and celebrate the one whos patterns you dig.

    It’ll make you your experience on here much more pleasant. If that’s what you’re looking for. If you like to be riled up though this is the place, so welcome.

    And thank you Bossip for treating his death with respect unlike the way you did with the young woman who was murdered at Lil Kim’s party.

Big Brother Ike!!

  289. The world is a little less funny and less filled with music today. Bernie Mack & Isaac Hayes were both great guys & will be greatly missed by all. Damn this weekend sucks. Rain, death & war.

    I bet Isaac & Otis Redding are some place talking trash about the days at Stax about now… I miss the days of real music.


  290. RIP, YOU ARE IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE,WE REALLY NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE OUR TIME,THATS WHY WE SHOULD LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLESS WHILE WE ARE HERE.

    R.I.P. Mac

    On another note…these are some of the dumbest Black folks I have ever seen here. Ignorant as dog *****. If people around the world read some of these comments, no wonder the world thinks we belong under a heel.

    Stop being so damn stupid.


  296. R.I.P. Isaac Hayes you will be missed
