Hot Buttered Soul Master, RIP

i had no idea that Isaac Hayes was only 65 years old.... very young age to die. Even more impressive, was that he wrote many of his masterpieces while in his late 20's! i should be so creative at 41.

My favorite IH memory: a good friend, P***, who collects all kinds of music, played me a live version of Shaft from the mid 70's when Hayes played Lake Tahoe. Except, the announcer pronounced it "Lake Tay-ho." Never heard it said that way before.

Damn good version, though. Dammmmmmn right.
