p2pnet news view | Music:- ‘Isaac Lee Hayes, Jr was an American soul and funk singer-songwriter, musician, record producer, arranger, composer, and actor,” says the Wikipedia.

‘Was’ because he died yesterday, aged 65.

Hayes may have been exercising shorty before he died. He collapsed Sunday afternoon near a treadmill in his home in Tennessee, says the New York Times, going on:

“Steve Shular, a spokesman for the sheriff’s office, said authorities received a 911 call after Hayes’ wife and young son and his wife’s cousin returned home from the grocery store and found him collapsed in a downstairs bedroom. A sheriff’s deputy administered CPR until paramedics arrived.

“Stanback said he was shocked to learn of the death of the singer, who was about to start work on a new record for Stax, the label Hayes helped make legendary.”

Hayes was also another celebrity who became enmeshed in the cult of Scientology.

He joined 1995, says the Wikipedia, adding, “He has contributed endorsement blurbs for many Scientology books.”
