Isaac Hayes Dies
Oscar-winning soul singer Isaac Hayes who, along with Al Green, James Brown and Stevie Wonder, was one of the dominant black artists in the early 1970s, died in Memphis on Sunday, his friend and former manager, Onzie Horne, said. Hayes was 65.
Horne told Reuters that he had spoken to Hayes’ wife, who confirmed that Hayes was found unconscious at his home, and rushed to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

In his later years, Hayes reached a new audience by supplying the voice for Chef, the libidinous sage on the cartoon series “South Park.” But he left the show a few years ago because he disagreed with its attacks on Scientology, the religious movement to which he belonged.
