Isaac Hayes
August 10
Isaac Hayes, the baldheaded,
baritone-voiced soul crooner who
laid the groundwork for disco and
whose “Theme From Shaft” won
both Academy and Grammy
awards, died Sunday afternoon
after he collapsed near a
treadmill, authorities said.
He was 65.
With his muscular build, shiny
head and sunglasses, Hayes cut
a striking figure at a time when
most of his contemporaries were
sporting Afros. His music, which
came to be known as urban-
contemporary, paved the way for
disco as well as romantic
crooners like Barry White.
