Who is the Man -- Dead at 65


Remember

Shaft,

Shaft Big Score,

Shaft in Africa

By

Richard Roundtree?

The Theme was composed by


Isaac Hayes R.I.P


Musician Isaac Hayes -- who wrote the theme song for "Shaft" -- died early this morning in a Memphis hospital.

According to WMC, a Shelby County sheriff's deputy responded to call from Hayes' wife after she found him on the floor near a treadmill inside their home.

Hayes was taken to Baptist East Hospital in Memphis, and was pronounced dead at 2:08 AM. Cops are investigating, but do not believe foul play was a factor.
