Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Soul Men is a 2008 American music-comedy-drama film directed by Malcolm D. Lee and written by Matthew Stone and Rob Ramsey. It stars Samuel L. Jackson and the late Bernie Mac. It was released on November 7, 2008. Isaac Hayes and Bernie Mac both died in unrelated circumstances in August 2008. Director Lee said the film was heavily re-edited to soften the tone of the film, as a tribute to the two actors. Two former backup soul singers, Louis (Samuel L. Jackson) and Floyd (Bernie Mac) who have not spoken to each other in 20 years reluctantly agree to travel across the country together to a reunion concert to honor their recently deceased lead singer Marcus Hooks (John Legend). Cleo (Sharon Leal), a beautiful young woman in an abusive relationship, who is believed to be Floyd's daughter accompanies them as a new singer.
