Isaac Hayes

.The silky smooth soul legend checked himself into an undisclosed Memphis hospital on Tuesday to be treated for exhaustion, according to published reports.

No immediate word on the 63-year-old Hayes' condition. His agent could not be reached for comment Wednesday.

However, Hayes' longtime songwriting partner, David Porter, told Memphis' Commercial Appeal newspaper: "He's just overworked and had been in Atlantic City performing, the D.C. area performing and in Tunica [Mississippi] a couple of nights ago. He was just overworked."

But, Porter added, "He's doing much better."

Levi Stubbs Four Tops

Levi Stubbs, the legendary lead singer of the Four Tops, and one of the greatest soul vocalists of all time, has died in Detroit after a long illness. Stubbs' death leaves only one remaining Tops founding member, Abdul "Duke" Fakir. As the distinctive lead of the Four Tops, Stubbs was best known for his deep, passionate vocal style that turned Holland-Dozier-Holland compositions like "Bernadette" and "Reach Out" and later, upon the group's move from Motown to ABC Records, on adult soul songs such as "Ain't No Woman (Like the One I Got)" and "Keeper of the Castle."

A heart attack and stroke permanently sidelined Stubbs a half decade ago, and he was wheelchair-bound as he took the stage for the group's 50th anniversary celebration in 2005. But Levi Stubbs will long be remembered as a staple of Motown's greatest years and as one of the most distinctive and revered vocalists of all time. He will be greatly missed.

MOTOWN GIVES BACK TO DETROIT STUDENTS WITH DONATION TO DETROIT PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOUNDATIONDETROIT – Musician and Motown enthusiast Drew Schultz, 24, and Motown musical legends gave back to Detroit students through the Detroit Public Schools Foundation with sales from debut album “Back to Class.” Prior to The Four Tops’ performance at the Motor City Casino Soundboard Theater on Thursday, Dec. 13, the musicians presented their first $1000 donation of proceeds from album sales to the DPS Foundation.
