Musician Isaac Hayes -- who wrote the theme song for "Shaft" -- died early this morning in a Memphis hospital.

According to WMC, a Shelby County sheriff's deputy responded to call from Hayes' wife after she found him on the floor near a treadmill inside their home.

Hayes was taken to Baptist East Hospital in Memphis, and was pronounced dead at 2:08 AM. Cops are investigating, but do not believe foul play was a factor.

Story developing ...

Big loss, if yall havent you all owe it to yourselves to listen to his Hot Buttered SoulLP, wow what a record.

He and David Porter also wrote those killer songs for Sam & Dave among others.

So long, Isaac! Besides the theme from "Shaft" I have also heard "Don't Let Go" which came out in late 1979.
