Excellent movie, awesome soundtrack, Isaac Hays just put it all together with his talent...I ask one question: "How come this movie didn't win the Oscar in 1971?"
i love tha part in X-Files, after Mulder was knocked out and Scully shakes him awake ... Mulder starts bobbing on the ground and sings the words to this song.
Isaac Hayes Most gifted Soul artist of this generation. Richard Roundtree - no one in this life or any other could play the part of John Shaft better than him.
Finally, at about 2 minutes in was that Huggy Bear doing a deal with Shaft?
Man, Jackson is an ACTOR, not singer. Check google, next time, don't make foo' of yourself. Both 70's and 2k versions are masterpieces of Isaac Hayes.
Love this song. That negro Hayes was truly talented beyond belief.

People forget what a great songwriter Isaac was. He wrote or cowrote so many of the greatest R&B records of all time for Stax.
