I Love this song when I was a kid back in 1971 and still Loves it at the age of 62 in 2025 ❤

[@Greg-io1ip]

One of the greatest movie songs of all time. It's hard to appreciate today's music - if that's what they call it - when funk and soul of 60's - 70's was real musicians composing real music. Seems like all downhill ever since.

[@derrickbatiste9374]

May the souls of Richard roundtree and Issac Hayes rest in eternal peace. We miss you both!!

[@voicegirl555]

Goodbye Richard Roundtree! I first saw you when you walked out of the train station on 42nd street in the film. What a good looking guy I thought! Wow! The way you walked! Dress in that leather coat! And that music! Yeah that music! Only one Isaac Hayes and he wrote the score of all scores back in 1971! Thanks Richard for the pleasure of your company and the films and TV apprearces you left behind.,

[@ziemowitaski]

RIP Richard Roundtree

[@TammiRennicker]

Good times 😊

[@thomaskelly1286]

Brilliant Ensemble

[@edwinsantos7937]

"...they say this cat Shaft is a bad mother...SHUT YOUR MOUTH!...I'm talking about Shaft!...". Hahaha! That is the GREATEST spoken line of ANY song EVER. That line alone immortalized Isaac Hayes forever in the annals of Soul music.

I just saw this hidden gem of a festive movie about a family Thanksgiving called Home For The Holidays, that guy who plays Ironman was driving home singing to this tune, I just had to find this great number, oh plus I just saw Father Ted dancing to it lol.

[@jcrodriguez1419]

Great music!!! Whatever happened to the world that we do not get master pieces such as this one?

[@arulsambasivan4320]

Conversation over coffee this morning: Julie: "You're a complicated man." Me (sings): "But no one understands him but his woman!" Julie: "What?" Me (beat boxes opening guitar riff) Julie: "Why are you singing the 'Shaft' theme song?" Me: "Do you even Seventies?"

[@angeloosborne9806]

Sure, it’s called “wah, wah” it’s a device added to a guitar to give the unique sound. It was used a lot in the 70s on funk bands.

[@theuncanspan]

can someone tell me the name of the instrument that goes "pakapakow pakapakow" along the music, it's a signature of 70's jazz/soul music

[@MartinMartorell]

Wah wah pedal, it's more like a signature of 70's disco-funk music.

[@itsblitz4437]

And that trumpet sound goes blaring up once.

[@willyvlyminck201]

Hayes greatest narrative believe it or not destroyed Dionne Warwick's version of: "Walk On By"/ If you haven't heard his crown of achievement 'you ain't BLACK', like the Biden Liar Joe told us he was.
