MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Isaac Hayes, the pioneering singer, songwriter and musician whose relentless "Theme From Shaft" won Academy and Grammy awards, has been found dead at home. He was 65.

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

Mandingo is like our resident funeral director. R.I.P. Mr. Hayes and sorry for sampling your music for my first album without getting permission.

Who's the black private dick
That's a sex machine to all the chicks?
(Shaft!)
You're damn right

Who is the man
That would risk his neck for his brother man?
(Shaft!)
Can ya dig it?

Who's the cat that won't cop out
When there's danger all about
(Shaft!)
Right on

You see this cat Shaft is a bad mother--
(Shut your mouth)
But I'm talkin' about Shaft
(Then we can dig it)

He's a complicated man
But no one understands him but his woman
(John Shaft)

Might as well chalk 2008 up as the second worst year of the decade so far.

If I were Samuel L Jackson I'd be terrified. Isaac Hayes, Bernie Mac, and SLJ are in a movie called Soul Men coming out this fall.
