This was cut from the movie "Wattstax" originally, because MGM (the company that released Shaft) didn't want anyone else grabbing on to that incredible music. Of course, they were right. First Academy Award for a man of color!
The instrumental parts are so long because the song itself only has around 47 unique words, which puts him in Ramones territory before they even formed.
si no hubiera sido por la música negra muchos músicos blancos no se hubieran comida nada ! saludos ;) !
