Bernie Mac and Issac Hayes both died recently.
ernie Mac blended style, authority and a touch of self-aware bluster to make audiences laugh as well as connect with him. For Mac, who died Saturday at age 50, it was a winning mix, delivering him from a poor childhood to stardom as a standup comedian, in films including the casino heist caper "Ocean's Eleven" and his acclaimed sitcom "The Bernie Mac Show."

Though his comedy drew on tough experiences as a black man, he had mainstream appeal — befitting inspiration he found in a wide range of humorists: Harpo Marx as well as Moms Mabley; squeaky-clean Red Skelton, but also the raw Redd Foxx.
Mac died Saturday morning of complications from pneumonia in a Chicago-area hospital, his publicist, Danica Smith, said in a statement from Los Angeles.
"The world just got a little less funny," said "Oceans" co-star George Clooney.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Isaac Hayes, the pioneering singer, songwriter and musician whose relentless "Theme From Shaft" won Academy and Grammy awards, died Sunday afternoon, the Shelby County Sheriff's Office said. He was 65.
Sheriff's spokesman Steve Shular said authorities received a 911 call after Hayes' wife and young son and his wife's cousin returned to their Memphis home from a grocery store and found him collapsed near a treadmill in a downstairs bedroom.
"The treadmill was running, but he was unresponsive, lying on the floor," Shular said. A sheriff's deputy administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation until paramedics arrived. Hayes was pronounced dead an hour later at Baptist East Hospital in Memphis. The cause of death was not immediately known.
