This week, we mourn the passing of a soul legend, whose output in the early 60s alone, would've been enough to launch him into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame.I'd go a step further and say "I Thank You" is enough to put him in the Hall. Hell, if Bon Jovi memorabilia is good enough to collect dust, (and with any luck get eaten by species of Tineola bisselliella), I.H. deserves his own damn wing, can

Hayes died yesterday of unknown causes.My mother came down the stairs this morning and realized two of her favorites (Hayes and Bernie Mac) died way too soon.
