'Shaft' is a 1971 film starring Richard Roundtree, directed by Gordon Parks and released by MGM. It was one of the first successful films in a cinematic movement dubbed blaxploitation (black exploitation). The soundtrack was released on Enterprise Records/Stax.
This album is smooth, it's funky with a slice of psychedelic (Do Your Thing). All songs were written and produced by Isaac Hayes. Backing him are the Bar-Kays and the Isaac Hayes Movement. The Theme From Shaft, Do Your Thing and Soulsville are the only tracks with vocals but don't let that disappoint you. The arrangements are deep and detailed enough to hold the listener's attention.
Favorite Song: Cafe Reggio's
