JUST WHEN I CLOSED MY EYES TO REST FROM THE SUDDEN DEATH OF BERNIE MAC..YESTERDAY..NEWS HAS COME..ANOTHER HAS PASSED...ISSAC HAYES ..
WITH HIS BARTONE VOICE AND HIS HOT BUTTER SOUL AWARD WINNING ALBUMS
HAS SHOCKED THE AIRWAVES...KNOWN FOR HIS SCORE..SHAFT AND SHAFT BIG SCORE

AS WELL AS HIM BEING A DJ HERE IN NYC FOR 98.7 KISSFM RADIO...HE WAS KNOWN
FOR HIS ROLE IN GIRLSFRIENDS..WHERE HE PLAYED ONE OF THE STARS ON
THE SHOWS FATHER...WITHJENNIFER LEWIS AS HER MOTHER..WHICH WAS HIS LAST
PERFORMANCE ON A SERIES...THE WORLD HAS LOST ONE THE BIGGEST ICON AS THE

MY LORD..WERE LOSING ALL OF OUR SINGER OF SOUL..I DREAD TO THINK AS THE DAYS AND NIGHT ROLES AROUND...WHAT WOULD HAPPEN NEXT...ALL OF THEM HAD REASONS FOR LIVING...THE YEARS WERE SO GOOD TO THEM..WITH ALL THAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED..DYING ALONE..BEING FOUND IS NOT A GOOD THING TO HAPPEN...HE WAS FOUND ON A TREADMILL..LYING DOWN WHERE THEY FOUND HIM..SO SAD I GOT TO SEE HIM DO THE HOT BUTTER SOUL REVIEW AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN IN 1974..HE WAS THE BEST ENTERTAINER SINCE JAMES BROWN ON STAGE...THE CLOTHES...THE SMOKE FILLED STAGE..THE PLATFORM..WHERE HE ROSE FROM UNDERGROUND..THE PSYCHEDELIC COLORS..ALL THAT
PRESENTED SUCH A COOL EFFECT...WALK ON BY...THE CHAINS ON HIS BODY..WITH OIL 2
MAKE HIM SHINE..AND HIS THE BEST ENDING THAT ANYONE HAS EVER SAW SHAFT'S MOVIE SCORE...I WAS SCREAMIN MY ASS OFF..TRYIN TO GET HIS ATTENTION..BUT..TO NO AVAIL..
