MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- 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.

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."

Shut your mouth.

In a more serious side... this is sad to hear.  Wow... you know what the say about death and 3s.  Seems to have a theme too with the current set of deaths.  :(

Well, thankfully Mr. Freeman seems to have slipped out of this one.....so far.  :unsure:

...****. Someone call Sam and tell him not to leave his house.  :blink:

They're even standing in the right order. That is way too g*****n creepy.

:o I'm glad I'm not superstitious. That would be the worst thing ever.

This is really too bad. Although I may have had problems with Hayes, it's very sad to see him go.
