Isaac Hayes was one of my favorites. I almost wore out his DON'T LET GO album in college. Especially this song.....

Hayes, Award-Winning Soul Legend, `South Park' Star, Dies at 65

By Michael Tsang and Joseph Galante

Hayes, who became known for his shaved head, dark glasses and fur coats, was born to a sharecropper's family in Covington, Tennessee, on Aug. 20, 1942, according to his Web site. He was orphaned in infancy and was raised by his maternal grandparents.

He played saxophone and piano in high school and performed in ``doo-wop'' and jazz bands. Hayes turned down seven college scholarships for music, and instead landed a job playing piano with saxophonist Floyd Newman's band in West Arkansas.

Newman was a staff musician at Memphis's Stax Records recording studio and Hayes eventually found work there playing keyboards. His first paid sessions were with Otis Redding in early 1964. Hayes wrote some 200 songs at Stax with David Porter, including ``Hold On, I'm Coming,'' ``You Don't Know Like I Know,'' ``When Something Is Wrong With My Baby,'' and the R&B Grammy award-winning ``Soul Man'' for Sam & Dave.
