Isaac Hayes R.I.P.

Last summer, I spent an afternoon with Isaac Hayes at the Stax Museum in Memphis. He looked like a golf pro who looked like Isaac Hayes, dressed in a polo shirt, khakis, and sensible shoes (black loafers). But even without the dashiki, or layers of gold chains, he was still cooler than you or I will ever be. Hayes was the ultimate soul man.
