Just as production for a new movie, Soulmen, was set to be complete, not only does Bernie Mac die, but also Isaac Hayes.
The two seasoned professional black performers both passed away in the month of August of 2008. What is even more striking is that they were both involved in a movie together along with A-Lister Samual Jackson, which may have just finished production...a question which is still unclear.
Hayes was the premier artists for the Stax label with successful recordings on albums Hot Buttered Soul and Black Moses.
He also made a huge effort as a humanitarian for human and black/African American rights winning honorary recognition and awards. He will be missed by many as will be his "brother" Bernie Mac!
Isaac Lee Hayes, Jr. (August 20, 1942 – August 10, 2008)
