Although I don't agree with his religious views, he was a great man. He will be missed.
unfortunately Hollywood deaths come in threes so who is next.
btw, there is a new moving coming out that will have two of its stars deceased.
both Bernie Mac and Issac Hayes were stars of this movie: Soul Men.
The scary part is that the third "Soul Man" is Sam L. Jackson...what would we do without "snakes on a mfn plane"
here is the story:
Isaac Hayes and Bernie Mac, who died one day apart, are to appear in Soul Men, a music-filled comedy directed by Malcolm D. Lee that's scheduled for release in November. The deaths of two of the movie's stars so close together is a huge and very sad coincidence.
According to IMDB, the movie is about two soul-singing legends (played by Mac and Samuel L. Jackson) who have been estranged for twenty years but who agreed to do a reunion performance to honor a deceased band leader. Hayes, in a smaller role apparently, plays himself.
For quite some time, the mention of Hayes' name brought to mind South Park and a handful of his 1970s hits that still are played on an oldies R&B station in town. I enjoy listening to his ballads more than his theme song for Shaft, for which he won an Oscar. But the Shaft theme was pretty cool.
