  The Four Tops singer died on Friday morning (BBC obit here). Remember the man and that truly distinctive, raw and emotive voice this way.

  

• Isaac Hayes RIP

  The mighty Ike died in Memphis, Tennessee today. He was 65 years of age. Full obituary here.

  Hayes suffered a stroke in 2006 and had been in poor health since. I saw him last year at a Stax Records 50th Anniversary gig in Austin, Texas with Booker T & The MGs, William Bell and Eddie Floyd, but it was obvious to all that he was in a bad way. Lets remember Black Moses this way
