In Loving Memory of Isaac Hayes
Rep. Steve Cohen and Isaac Hayes
Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9) joins Memphis and the world in mourning legendary musician, humanitarian, and ambassador of Memphis Isaac Hayes, who passed away this morning at age sixty-five.
“Isaac Hayes was our emissary to the world for over four decades,” Congressman Cohen said. “His music and his love of his fellow man transcended all racial boundaries. His contributions to this city and its culture were many, and his friends were even more numerous. I was fortunate enough to have him as my friend, and I was blessed to have his support in my most recent election.”
“His music, his talent, and his spirit will live on. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife Adjowa and his entire family. He was a soul man and a great man, and like Moses, there will never be another.”
Thank You For Re-Electing Steve Cohen!
