Word!!! I was 12 when this hit the stage. dayuummm. awesome. YOU can thank Jimi Hendrix for that wha-wha-chucka-chucka..trheres where the guitarist on this song got that 'vibe' !! Play on Jimi...Shaft is a Bad Mutha.... and still is.. Like James Bond, Sean Connery there will ONLY ever ever be one shaft and that is Mr.Richard Round Tree. samuel Hell Jackson couldn't hold a damn, acting candle to him. Shaft is Top Shelf Class, Jackson is ghetto as hell!!

All of 66 years old and boy was I rocking when I stumbled across this masterpiece while searching Papa was A Rollin' Stone and all the great hits of yesteryear. Awesome classic!

RIP Isaac Hayes. A Great Music.

He was the man!!! RIP Mr Roundtrer

What a groovy tune brilliant

An absolutely iconic film soundtrack

In 1971, I remember getting into a friend's car. He had a new cassette play & it was blaring! With this tune! It sounded GREAT!!

A Great Actor and Superstar has gone. Will always be remembered. God bless Richard Roundtree. R.I.P.

I was 18 when I saw this in the UK. Next morning when straight to the record shop to buy the soundtrack. Absolutely superb
