Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes, two great African-American entertainers died within a day of each other last weekend.
Bernie Mac, the accomplished comedian and movie star who starred in over 50 films including his feature role in the 2004 hit, “Mr 3000″ died on August 9th of Pneumonia. He was 50 years old. In honor of his memory, here is a clip from one of his stand-up comedy shows.
Isaac Hayes, the bald headed, baritone-voiced soul singer and actor who laid the groundwork for disco and whose “Theme From Shaft” won both Academy and Grammy awards, died Sunday afternoon, August 10th after he collapsed in his home at the age of 65. I would like to remember him with his most famous song. “Theme From Shaft.”
