Isaac Hayes, singer/composer and owner of the smoothest soul-filled voice this side of the late Barry White—singing or speaking—has died at 65 in a Memphis hospital after collapsing in his home. Cause of death was not immediately reported; CNN.com has a report here.
From his now-famous "Theme from Shaft" to his gigs as the voice of South Park's Chef, he was a part of our culture for nearly four decades. I'm really, really ready for the Universe to stop taking the good ones away from us any day now.
