At age 60 and being an offspring of father that majored in music at an HBCU ( North Carolina Agricultural & Technical University)AggiePride. My father was the Band Director of a predominantly white school( Wake Forest Sr. Highschool in Wake Forest N.C . That being said he arranged this for the band who was about 100 members including flag girls and majorettes They put on a show at a Friday night football game playing the theme from shaft in 1972. I was only 10 at the time but I'll never forget that performance and the musicianship. Thank you Issac Hayes for the original composition and thanks to my father Robert Winston for transitioning into the Director that you became!

I absolutely LOVE this song. it was the first 45 record I ever bought when I was like, seven years old. Decades later I was living in Atlanta and working for one of the major film studios in distribution. One night Isaac Hayes showed up at one of our screenings and I got to sit right next to him. There he was eating popcorn and drinking his soda and enjoying the film like everyone else. He was a very warm and nice person and I'll never forget him. A few years later I was working in production with a new band that came to Atlanta to do a video for their cover version of "Let's Do It Again" by Curtis Mayfield. He was a complete quadriplegic and could no longer travel but he sang a verse with the band. Like Hayes he was a wonderfully sweet and kind man who I could see was dying. It was the last recording he ever made. I feel blessed to have worked with both of these musical giants of the early 70's and to take part in one of their last works.

One of the absolute best and most iconic movie theme tunes ever written. Isaac Hayes rightly won a host of Academy Awards for this track in 1972 including Best Original Song, Original Score. The opening bars with the one deep note lying down the whole track is atmospheric and moody and tense. Just fabulous and talent personified.

What a classic. This theme (and soundtrack) continues to mesmerize, as it has for 49 years. As a wet-behind-the-ears 18 year old sitting in a Hartford, WI movie theater in 1971, I was permanently "urbanized" by Isaac Hayes and built a John Shaft-like career in Milwaukee.

I lived it, it was at its best time a few years after the war was over. Good music, lids were $20, Boonsfarm Wine and 3.2 beer was sold to 18 yr. old's, concerts at parks and baseball stadiums with big name bands, sorry, I tend to run on. People danced and then the music died...……..
