Isaac Hayes died today
He was pronounced dead at one of the hospitals here in Memphis (the one i was born in actually). I was so sad to hear the news today
I have had the pleasure of meeting him on several occassions- he was always such a warm, gentle guy- so sweet! He has made such a huge impact on the music industry not only in this area, but all over too. I spent several years as a music industry major when i was in college- and he was always mentioned as such an icon.
He also used to have an amazing resturant downtown in the Peabody Place mall - Colin and I used to go there all of the time before it closed (i'm not sure if they're going to reopen it or not now -it closed a few months back sadly!)- not only was the food and the staff amazing there- but he used to have some of the most amazing singers in there too- even Ruby Wilson (for you blues fans!)
From his music, to his resturants, to television - He was such a talented guy -he will truely be missed!!!
Every Memphian i know right now is so upset over his passing
The world lost a wonderful, very talented man today.
