Bernie Mac & Issac Hayes: We’ll Miss YOU!

We'll miss you, Bernie.

Bernie Mac blended style, authority and a touch of self-aware bluster to make audiences laugh as well as connect with him. For Mac, who died Saturday at age 50, it was a winning mix, delivering him from a poor childhood to stardom as a standup comedian, in films including the casino heist caper “Ocean’s Eleven” and his acclaimed sitcom “The Bernie Mac Show.”

Mac died Saturday morning of complications from pneumonia in a Chicago-area hospital, his publicist, Danica Smith, said in a statement from Los Angeles.

I personally just watched the move “Pride” and thought of Bernie Mac as this loveable teddy bear.  This diamond in the rough with a heart of gold who had so much left to offer.  This talent will certainly be missed and never duplicated!  Our prayers to his family and children.

Issac Hayes’ music will live on in imfamy.  So, “Shut yo mouth”…

Just talking about Issac….

Can You Dig It?

I really think the theme song to “Shaft” [by Issac Hayes] is one of the most recognizable pieces of music ever.  It’s probably one of the most spoofed pieces of music, too.

I didn’t watch much of “South Park” but it did introduce him to a whole new generation of fans as the voice of the character Jerome “Chef” McElroy.

Authorities in Memphis say Isaac Hayes apparently died of a stroke. The deep-voiced soul singer died Sunday after he was found unconscious at his Memphis residence.
