The way people dressed in the 70's ❤ what a crazy outrageous but innovative decade

I remember watching this and thought it was the coolest thing ever. He deserved to win that Oscar.

Rumour has it that grandmother kept it in her outhouse as a toilet roll holder.

Even all these decades later, the orchestration of this is a phenomenal undertaking, a perfect choice and the entire soundtrack broke ground IMO.

I was never fortunate enough to meet Issac! But I was blessed to meet Richard, and he was one of the nicest people that you would ever want to meet...

One of the baddest piece of music ever

Now that's a hellified outfit Mr Isaac Hayes be sporting! Velour, velvetine, and satin were the order of the day in the early 1970s! Rest in peace, hot buttered soul!

Unfortunately Richard Rountree, who played "Shaft" in the movie passed away in 2023. If you like this, you will like Issac Hayes' 2002 Induction into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame performance.

This music is just a MASTERPIECE!!

When shows...were shows... And talent was rewarded for being talented.... And those days are long gone....Salute to you Mr Hays....!!!

My mother made me go out and buy her the 45 version of shaft which I still own to this day, in the original jacket. It was the spring of 72 in March that is and I was in downtown Hartford with my girlfriend for the day we were shopping we had never done anything like that. I popped into a little record store on asylum Street in Hartford and purchased it for a whopping 89 cents oh my God. I almost broke the bank there...

The most funky song I ever heard bar none!

I remember this and couldn’t stop screaming because Isaac Hayes won Oscar for Shaft. He deserved that Oscar…❤

This track was so innovative then. And it influenced so many other soundtracks of crime movies and tv shows of the Seventies.

I went to Morris Brown college in Atlanta and the band played the hell of his song. I will never forget that. The year was 1970's. We had the best band in the world.

Classic piece of music. Incredible arrangement. Powerful performance. And the chain vest was serious.

I remember watching this as it happened and being in utter awe.

I was a kid but remember it too. Folks today don't realize, but this sound was totally new. Post 60s, pre disco/rap..... Jazzier than funk or traditional R&B. No one knew what to do with the wah wah pedal until this song. Haha, a few years later Peter Frampton took it to another level with the mouth harp. But at the time It changed music.

Thank you so much for this post. It was (would have been) Isaac Hayes' 79th birthday yesterday (born August 20, 1942 - August 10, 2008).This is a great moment in history. (Judy Dixon Gabaldon)

What a brilliant composer and singer when I first heard the song on the radio I knew he would win many years ago wow! Bless him.

Great stuff. Look at how funkier America was back then. The talent was better, the music more pure. As great as Issac was, Gordon Parks had a a huge unsung influence on how that historic soundtrack was shaped. For example, the iconic High Hat cymbals opening to the Theme of Shaft was Gordon's idea and so on. But thanks for an awesome upload.

The high hat was lifted from the breakdown at the end of “Try A Little Tenderness.” Issac Hayes stated so in interviews about the crafting of the song. But, yes, you’re right. I have the Blu-Ray with features the 10 minute documentary about the making of the film including Parks’s direction to Ike and his crew about the type of driving rhythm he wanted as Shaft’s theme.

I just watched the movie last night and this song immediately drew a smile to my face-especially seeing that the Bar Kays part of the "rhythm" section!--now to see this performance from 72!!!

I don't know what was more surreal, the dance, the smoke, Sammy Davis, Jr. Or Ike's wardrobe during the lip synched song or when he got the statue. I could only imagine the AMPAS stalwarts tapping their feet and rattling their jewelry. Isaac Hayes, you are missed!

Very gracious by Isaac

Issac Hayes was a brilliant composer and arranger. Thank you for sharing this clip with us.

Ahh the summer of '72...... I actually saw the great man perform in a small bar/club venue decades later and heard that epic opus in a different stylee. Moments in my life to treasure. Nuff Z

WOW this is amazing & a true trip through the Time Machine. I absolutely love it🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is the perfect place to wish black Moses Issac Hayes a happy birthday wish. His prize taught me what it meant to receive an Oscar

Legend !

Still the coolest dude to grace the stage. Back when all skin colors could enjoy the essence of black music. Especially soul. Now it's hip hop, stupid rhymes and words that belittle blacks and their culture. All this while the forgotten greats musicians that were once the core of the black music experience. Marvin Gaye, Cool & the Gang, Glady's Knight an the Pips, and so so many others that I couldn't possibly name here, that are not excepted or played in public anymore.

I was gobsmacked that he won an Oscar. Well deserved

A good hero always has his theme music. And is anyone since 1971 been as cool as Richard Roundtree in the OG Shaft?

Wow, this was three months before I was born.

Please i mean to offend no one. Issac Hayes , Sidney Poitier and Sadie. Earnad their acadamy awards deservingly.! Worked hard to show the whole world...that talent..knows no color.! They are the most deserving intellectuals .!

Wow, I'm glad he won. I use to like Bless the Beast and the Children.

Awesome

One of the best-all time songs but choreography and fashion in the '70's so horrendous (and I lived it).

Sucesso interessante até os dias de hoje !

1970s. Wow.....

Hello children!!!

I believe the Academy woulnt allow the original artist perform the nominated song for awhile because the audience became unruly dancing in the aisles during Hayes performance.
