ISAAC HAYES HOSPITALIZED

70's SOUL LEGEND HOSPITALIZED FOR EXHAUSTION

This is a "Black Fist" Entertainment Update. Coming straight to you from the world of black news www.blackamericaweb.com and The Associate Press, APonline.

Memphis, Tenn. (AP) - Isaac Hayes was being treated at a Memphis hospital Tuesday for exhaustion, his longtime songwriting partner said.

"He's just overworked and had been in Atlantic City performing, the D.C. area performing, and in Tunic (Miss) a couple of nights ago. He was just overworked," David Porter told The Commercial Appeal newspaper.

"He's doing much better," Porter said.

It was not immediately known which hospital the soul singer had checked into. Calls to his agents were not returned.

Hayes, 63, is best known for his 1971 No. 1 hit "Theme From Shaft," from the Richard Roundtree film. The soundtrack won the Oscar for best musical score.

More recently, he was the voice of the charactor Chef on the TV show "South Park,"

During his time as a backup artist at Stax Records in Memphis, he established a songwriting partnership with Porter, and in the 1960s they wrote such hits for Sam and Dave as "Hold On I'm Coming" and "Soul Man."

On Behalf of "The Black Fist Organization", General Nikki X would like to wish Mr. Hayes warm wishes in hopes that he will be back at 100% very soon. Isaac Hayes is a deep-voiced smooth soul singer, a great songwriter, one tough Black man in the movies (Has anyone seen the movie "Truck Turner" lately, If not it's on DVD check it out!) And one bbbbbbbaaaaaaaddddddd Mutha....."Shut Yo' Mouth"!

This was a "Black Fist" Entertainment Update. "It may not always be Good News but it's Hood News"!!!
Right On!!!

Please re-post your comments on Isaac Hayes. By mistake and mistake only did I reject your comment and therefore unable to post to this site.

My apologies.

Alright then, curb that irresistible impulse to perform that irrational act of obliterating trevor_moonbow. I merely mentioned Isaac Hayes is the owner of the Jook Joint working the bar in Hustle and Flo which is out on DVD, I just watched it the other day, it comes highly recommended.
