"Soul singer and arranger Isaac Hayes, who won Grammy awards and an Oscar for the theme from the 1971 action film "Shaft," has died, sheriff's officials in Memphis, Tennessee, reported Sunday. [...]
[Source: Perez Hilton] Just when you thought that this week couldn't be any sadder over the lost of Bernie Mac who died over the weekend from pneumonia, this morning another one of the greats passed away. Music legend and voice actor (noted as being the voice of "chef" from South Park) Issac Hayes died Sunday morning at his home in Memphis, Tennessee. He will be greatly missed the world
CNN is reporting that police have discovered Isaac Hayes unconscious "next to a still-running treadmill" . He was taken to hospital, but pronounced dead at 2pm. Hayes was born into a sharecropping family in rural Tennessee. Raised by his grandparents after being orphaned, a move to Memphis at first showed Hayes the possibilities of life, but turned sour when his grandfather died. Poverty forced Hayes to seek work; he wound up as a short order chef. He tried to drop out of school, only to be more-or-less ordered back by the teachers who saw talent in the [...]

Soul pioneer Isaac Hayes was found dead at his Memphis home this morning. Hayes' decades-spanning career began with a gig writing, arranging, and producing music at Stax Records, where he collaborated with David Porter on tracks for Sam & Dave and Carla Thomas, among others. His own recording career began in 1967, then really took off with 1969's landmark Hot Buttered Soul ; later, his work on the Shaft soundtrack would go on to garner worldwide acclaim and high sales, with both the album and its title track reaching No. 1 on the US charts and Hayes [...]
The Associated Press just announced that soul giant Isaac Hayes has been found dead alongside a treadmill at his home in Memphis. He was 65. RIP. It's ironic that Hayes' web site has a picture of him and his friend Bernie Mac who also died on Saturday. Hayes just recently played the Portland Blues Festival.
What in the hell is going on this weekend with having our Black Legends pass away...trying to get used to the passing of Bernie Mac and now we hear about the passing of Isaac Hayes. The death of Isaac Hayes is a HUGE loss for the Soul Music, Black Music and American Music communities in general and honestly, this is really sad and depressing news to hear. Right now, I don't even have much I can think of saying right now besides that. Condolences from the BlackRadioIsBack.com and FuseBox [...]

Released earlier this year, STAX Does The Beatles compiles tracks recorded between 1966-1972 rounding up Beatles cover versions from the Memphis label's creative peak. Essential? Not really, but to no fault of the artists, as covering the Beatles is about as close as one can get to musically tripping over your own feet. [...]
In 1996, when Hooverphonic released their debut album, they were actually called Hoover (but for legal reasons they had to change their name if they wanted to release music outside of Belgium, if I remember well...) Their music was sort of triphoppy and didn't go unnoticed, as one of their songs was used by Bertolucci for Stealing beauty . Apart from the [...]

I can feel myself entering a hip hop phase again, having drifted away for a few months. In my regular pre-post scramble, the Geto Boys popped into my head. When it comes to the Geto Boys many (if not most) hip hop heads will immediately think of their only truly big time single, "Mind Playing [...]

As everyone well knows, the Oscars were dished out last Sunday. Which got me thinking about the Oscar Best Song winners that reached #1 in the U.S. charts. Thanks to the wild and wonderful Intertubes, here are the Academy Award-winning Best Original Songs that have reached #1 since 1955, the year Billboard created the Hot [...]
When unrequited love girl from this post communicated to me gently that she didn't like me that way, I experienced validation for the term heartbreak. It did feel as though my actually heart was broken right down the middle. Of course it didn't, because else I would be dead, but the instant pain manifested itself in the location where the blood-pumping organ resides. It then moved to my chest and stomach, but lungache or gutbreak don't sound terrible romantic. The genre of love songs is rich in lyrics about broken hearts, from Sinatra learning the blues [...]
Sometimes when you work in a record store, albums just stare you in the face for years but you never check them out. My friend Rob in Tokyo sent me a mix with this track on it. Walking home one night listening to the mix the song blew me away. It went on forever and seemed to just get better and better. When I emailed Rob to get the details... It was that old Isaac Hayes album I'd never checked before... If you think you can hear that Philly [...]
Stax Marquee You can't take two proverbial steps around the blog-o-sphere without running into a Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings song. And to be truthful, I've got nothing bad to say about that. Their music doesn't just sound retro - I'm convinced that somehow Sharon is channeling genuine soul music from the 60's that was mistakenly unreleased by Stax Records and is manifesting itself through her. I'm sure of it. That being said, if you've been groovin' to Sharon, [...]

In the first of a regular series of guest blogs, Don will be sharing some love for music from his hometown of Memphis. Take it away Don. Nine times out of ten, the first reaction I get from people when I tell them I'm from Memphis is Elvis related. It's probably the same with most Irish people and Bono. In a bid to give props to the Memphis musicians that deserve more recognition, and who I'd rather be associated with my hometown, here is the first in the series of guest blog [...]
