Isaac Hayes has passed on leaving many of us with great memories.
He was born in Covington, TN, and began recording at Memphis' Stax Records.
He later wrote a string of hit songs with songwriting partner David Porter, including "You Don't Know Like I Know", "Soul Man", "When Something Is Wrong with My Baby", and "Hold On I'm Comin" for Sam and Dave. Hayes, Porter and Stax studio band Booker T. & the MGs served as the main production team for much of the label's output during the early and mid-1960s.
Then, of course, there is Shaft, for which he won an Academy Award and two Grammys.
He'll be missed.

I'm exceedingly glad that I went to the Stax 50th anniversary show in Memphis last year. Hayes performed a few songs at the end of the show. And it looked like he wasn't in the best physical shape then.
This is sad, though.
Out comes my copy of Hot Buttered Soul... it was long due for a spin.
