Music legend Isaac Hayes dies

Another loss in the music world occurred today: Musician and songwriter Isaac Hayes died at the age of 65 after collapsing at his Memphis home.

Hayes was probably best known for his "Theme From Shaft", which won Academy and Grammy awards. (The song featured the "wokka wokka" sound that characterizes what's often called 'Electric Company' music. It is called this because the sound was prominent in funky music beds featured on the '70s educational show.) Hayes also did the voice of the school cook on 'South Park', made commercials for Tennessee tourism, and received recognition for humanitarian work.
