Isaac Hayes Gets the Last Laugh

Singer/composer/actor, Isaac Hayes, a known Scientologist, who even quit work on the hit cartoon “South Park” in defence of the religion, has left nothing to the group in his will.
His will was instead divided into thirds. Portions go to his 11 elder children; his widow and young son; and his charitable foundation.
At his funeral, fellow Scientologist and wife of John Travolta, actress Kelly preston cried hysterically at both of his Memphis funerals and told everyone how much she loved him. Since she only knew him slightly through the church this irritated Mephis who’d known Hayes for 40 years. Source
In your face, Xenu!

Hayes' Family Fights For His Back Catelogue

Recently deceased musician Issac Hayes, now has his family members fighting over his estate. They are set to sue for the rights to his songs. His catalogue was sold for $30k in 1976 when he filed for bankruptcy. One of his sons Isaac Hayes III says, "He definitely was done wrong. I'm very passionate about that (providing security for the family). If that means me trying to get my father's material back, I'm all for it."
Hayes' attorney, Allen Arrow, says, "I can't rule out litigation... I would hope that we can retrieve a good part of what he lost."
Lance Armstrong, president of Rondor Music, which owns the publishing rights to Hayes' songs, added: "He lost millions, and it was morally and ethically wrong to take it from him. He was devastated." Source
I hope this doesn’t get as nasty as the battle over James Brown’s estate. Let’s keep it classy people.

Isaac Hayes RIP

Isaac Hayes passed away yesterday (Sunday August 10, 2008) at the age of 65. Hayes’ wife and 2-year old son went to the grocery store around noon. When they returned they found him unresponsive next to a still running treadmill. Paramedics were called and attempted to revive him at the scene. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Hayes became famous for his arrangement for the 1971 action film Shaft, for which he won an Oscar. The Scientologist found a new fan base when he became the voice of Chef for Comedy Central’s South Park. Source
It’s been a really sad weekend. Imma go sit in a dark room and listen to his version of “Never Can Say Goodbye” on repeat.
Condolences to the family.
