Shaft, the 1971 Gordon Parks-directed detective drama, is one of them. It is gorgeous, orchestrated soul, slow to reveal its charms with the nagging groove of Willie Halls hi-hat and the much loved wah-wah guitar of Charles Pitts.

Reviews"...boasting Issac Hayes' brilliant score. The main theme proved unstoppable, an award-winner that resulted in countless similar funk fiestas...", Ranked #40 in Ew's "100 Best Movie Soundtracks"-"...A Funkafied Mama Jama...", "The man's true genius was as an arranger, and his marvelously tricky blend of funk and Bacharach-like sophistication is in perfect balance here.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "The ghetto lament 'Soulsville' and the symphonic chill of 'Do Your Thing' endure as exemplars of '70s soul.", "...The melodramatic strings, sleazy horns and wacca-wacca guitars are all present, but it still feels as ersatz as an old Top Of The Pops compilation album...", 4 stars out of 5 - "...It single-handedly enhanced the reputation of a stylish but dull feature, and helped give rise to an entire movie genre. The potency of that track...highlights Hayes; top-flight skills as a composer....its lasting impact is more obvious...", Included in Mojo's "100 Coolest Movie Soundtracks".

    The late Isaac Hayes is of the greatest musicians. The soundtrack of Shaft is one of greatest as rest works as well. He most well known for the theme of Shaft.
