Great Version still produced by Isaac Hayes-RIP to both Sammy & Isaac!

Frederic BOURMAUT

GREAT, yes...

KK Akuoku

If only Issac Hayes sang those extra lyrics it would've sounded spectacular

charliekkendo

Ya gotta love Sammy, trying to bring vaudeville and lounge into funk and pulling it off only because he's so damn loveable.

This is actually the first version of the Shaft theme that I'd ever heard. It made me go to the video rental store (remember those?) and rent it. Ended up modeling my personal style after Richard Roundtree as John Shaft, so this is a really special song to me. It's a hard one to find though.

Wow! Many thanks for posting this  gem.  I'm currently reading a James Brown biography, "The One" and the author  examines  the Blaxploitation film era and James Brown's foray into that arena with his soundtrack albums. Brown had one of his musicians, Fred Wesley work out the arrangements, but took most of the credit himself. Clearly Isaac Hayes had his pulse on what was happening on the streets.  "Theme From Shaft" won three Grammies,  and an Oscar for best song, and justifiably so!

28 years gone! Still the best! No one can touch you Sam! Boy you were goooood!!!!!

Matt Clark

what an arrangement. I love how the shaft backing vocals come in on beat one!!!

Dirk Diggler
