This week, two great celebrity passed away.
First is Bernie Mac, this news surprised me, because I thought that he was healthy, seeing last in the movies Ocean Thirteen and Transformers, wherein he sells Bumblebee to Sam Witwicky.
His role as loud mouthed car salesman was remarkable and also being one of Ocean Eleven.
Truly a big loss for the entertainment industry, Bernie Mac was only 50 years old.
Another one is Academy Award winner Isaac Hayes,who won the Oscar in 1972 for best original song for the theme from Shaft, was found unresponsive at his house by family members.
After his career-defining soundtrack for the 1971 movie Shaft, for which Hayes picked up an Oscar, three Grammy awards, a Golden Globe award, and an Edison award, Europe's highest music honor, Hayes began acting in scores of movies and television series.
His guest star appearances included TV shows The Rockford Files and Miami Vice. He also appeared in feature films such as Escape from New York and "Hustle & Flow."
Musically, he returned to the pop charts in 1986 with a new record deal with Columbia and a new album, "U-Turn".
In 1997 he began voicing the role of Chef in the animated Comedy Central cable ' series South Park, but quit in 2006, apparently because of a conflict with Scientology, a religion he followed since the mid 1990s.
In 2002, Hayes was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and moved back home to Memphis, Tennessee, where he pursed business interests that flowered into two restaurants and a best-selling cookbook.
These two black person will surely be missed.
RIP Bernie and Isaac.
