Isaac Hayes, voice of the Chef from Southpark, The Duke in \'Escape From New York\', deep-voiced crooner of the Theme from Shaft... has left us.

So has Bernie Mac.

I\'m not really a superstitious person, but I\'m halfway waiting for the third one to go.

Too bad about those guys; they were relatively young - my parent\'s age, actually.

Yeah. My best friend died in February falling out of a tree; he was 28. While it\'s never pleasant to lose people you love or see obits in the news, it sure makes it easier to fully live in the moment.

How do you go about being ready?

I don\'t know if i\'m on the right track but I have spent all my money, chuckle daily and eat and drink well.

RIP Chef.

Isaac Hayes?? :eek: Bummer :(

I don\'t know who Bernie Mac was though.

among other things ..Bobby Bolivia (car salesman in transformers...)

Uncle Bobby B baby Uncle Bobby B

always a shame when people die relatively young but I guess at the end of the day if they have made it famous enough to reach the news with their death they have made more of an impression on this big old rollercoaster called life than I ever will......

Both of them leave behind a fair old library of achievements that will live on long after we are all dust.....:drunk:

what a sad time for music and comedy...
both guys were so talented...

i was bummed when i saw that bernie passed the other day, but i was absolutely stunned when i saw that issac went yesterday...

issac haye\'s signature Stacks sound was a big part of my life, as was the chef character...the funk just got a lot less funky!!!

bernie was one of the funniest comedians out there...he had a great unique style, and was right there to pick up the torch when eddie murphy stopped bein\' funny...

red fox, richard pryor, eddie murphy, and then bernie mac...that is a long line of laughs in my lifetime...

both bernie and chef made me laugh so many times...the world just got a little less funny...

cheers
jah

And 2 years younger than me.

Sad to see a couple of great entertainers go.
Isaac Hayes was one of the Seminal sounds of the 70\'s. The theme for Shaft has long been regarded as The Classic Soundtrack and the greatest Movie opening Music.
Bernie Mac had a great everyman appeal. So I guess that would mean no Ocean\'s Fourteen?
