ISAAC HAYES 1942-2008

Isaac Hayes, the iconic soul man whose sexy baritone earned him the nickname "the Black Moses" - and who became the first black composer to snag an Oscar - died today at his Memphis home, officials said. He was 65.

Shelby County Sheriff's spokesman Shular Shelby said officers went to Hayes' home after his wife found him on the floor near a treadmill in his house. Hayes was pronounced dead at 2:08 a.m. at Baptist East Hospital in Memphis.
