Goodbye To The Black Moses

We've told you before
Family members found Hayes unresponsive Sunday afternoon next to a treadmill in a downstairs bedroom in his home just east of Memphis, Tenn.
& we'll tell you again: EXERCISE WILL FUCKING KILL YOU!!!
The Black Moses, live, circa 1970. Born in Covington, Tenn., in 1942, Hayes began singing at an early age, performing at his local church. Hayes lost both his parents when he was an infant, and he was raised by his grandparents. He picked cotton, and taught himself to play the piano. Photo: Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images

What Americans of recent African heritage have to say about Hayes. P. S.: What the hell does "Black Moses" mean, exactly?

Mahmoud Darwish.

"The drunkenness of light, the light of the butterfly,
In the blackness of this tunnel."

Different chains.

Not gold.
