  • HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!!!

  • Go to the restaurant on 3rd and Mcdougal in the West Village NYC baby!

  • Instrumental classic,ooozzzzes class

  • Used to play this on 33and 1/3. Quite possibly my favorite song off of "Shaft". Was in high school when this was released,played it endlessly.The man is an amazing jazz artist.

  • Possibly my favorite song on this soundtrack, since I've been to the real Cafe Reggio on MacDougal Street in Greenwich Village.

  • a combination of memphis soul and vegas lounge.

  • used to play this on 7"

  • ISAAC HAYES...AN OLD SCHOOL MUSICAL GENIUS...HIS MUSIC WILL LIVE FOREVER...I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO HIS MUSIC SINCE I WAS 13 ...I AM NOW 54...

  • Masterful music.

  • I've been groovin to Cafe Regio comin up on 40 years, and it sounds as hot today as it did in '71. I can listen to this cut over and again...it just grooves! We miss you Ike!

  • Isaac Hayes,Michael Toles,Skip Pitts,James Alexander,Willie Hall...I could listen to this all night

  • Michael Toles is on lead guitar.

  • Was on the flip side of my Theme from Shaft 45. It does seem like yesterday. Forty years sure flies. I'll be ordering a Hoveround before you know it.

  • The first time I heard this track way back when, I'd never been exposed to anything like it before. It opened an entirely new path of music for me. Thirty-seven years later it still intrigues, leads and soothes me. Thanks a 1000 for posting it!

  • Song writer, music writer, composer. arranger, musican, singer, "Genius" PERIOD.. 

  • This is so 1971. Going to see Shaft and hearing the great sound track was a special event. I remember like yesterday my sister and I getting on the BUS to take in the movie and to hear the sound track. WOW. Isaac Hayes was a genius! Thanks

  • this is that shit ,, bust the lead work,, thanks pop drop

  • This track is one of those by Issac that makes me sad that he is gone.

  • Comment removed

  • this movie was made ten years before I was born, but it's still my favorite. This is one of the most amazing soundtracks I've ever heard, too. The 70's had it going on!

  • GORGEOUS MUSIC. SO NICE. LIKE SUMMER.

  • ¡¡Gran canción!!

  • A classic!! Love this song.

  • Sounds alot like Grant Green.

  • One of finest instrummentals from the "Shaft" Soundtrack. Timeless. I sure would have liked to have been around Isaac when he was composing this one!

  • check out zack breauxs

  • Just caught this tune on WBGO in NY and loved iI immediately not knowing it was the man Issac Hayes. Great tune. Should have bought the shaft soundtrack long ago.

  • timeless !!!!

  • this song always lifts my spirits

  • I can't get enough of this song!!!!

  • This became my favourite tune when I was 15.....and nothing has ever shifted it. Isaac was the nuts and I think this was as good as he got......maybe with the title track of the album. Sheer unadulterated genius. Miss him

  • genius...genius...genius...

  • Michael Toles - bass

    Charles "Skip" Pitts - lead guitar/solo

    Willie Hall - drums, percussion

    ISAAC - All Keys, percussion

    The Memphis Strings and Horns

    I will always feel blessed that before Black Moses passed, I got to see and hear him and the band do this LIVE. Unforgettable....

  • R.I.P MY BROTHER

  • Serious track...not dated at all....Good old 70s,great music we grew up on as teenagers.

  • Gostaria de ser guitarrista só poder tocar este som. É perfeito!

  • Hell of an instrumental.Rhythm Guitar never sounded so good.

  • My father had this soundtrack on 8 track, besides the title cut I didn' t know anything about this tune. And thanks to the auto-play on the 8 track, a whole new world of music was forever opened to me....Great song ....great musicianship!! THAT RHYTHM GUITAR IS SMOKIN'!

  • é esse som é de um grande amigo que gosta pra ............ Serginho Carioca........

  • I bought Shaft on 45 in the 70s and I played the B-side and - well Cafe reggie was on it. Wow fantastic jazz guitar which new to my 15 yr old mind. I always find B-sides fascinating. Like Santana's Samba Pa Ti (nice tune) but the B-side is Incident at Neshabur. Just wonderful.

  • i HEAR YOU! My dad bought the seven inch - I've still got it. I was blown away by how beautiful and classy this tune is. Just spiritual and pleasurable!!

  • when i was a kid, i had the shaft album and this was the only song i listened to. i wondered how a song without words could be so great to listen to. in a strange way, this song introduced me to jazz.. thanx for the post and extending the song.

  • been searching for this for a very long time....this is my brother's favorite who passed away 5 years ago.thanks for this song man.
