Isaac Hayes R.I.P.

By John Lewis

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.

One Response to “Isaac Hayes R.I.P.”

  1. No disrespect to Iggy Pop or to Amy Mulvillin, but Isaac wasn't just cooler than you or I, the man defined cool. And then went on to help define American soul music.
    Rest in Peace.
