I know that I am...man impossible to go back but the jester of going back in the days...for music/vocalist/everything. I thank God I grew up in that erra
I first heard this in 1996 our high school band teacher had us learn it and play it during pep rallys and our football games (I played Snare Drums and did the drum part with my drumline) I been a fan of this song ever since Rip Richard Roundtree and Issac Hayes
Found a old record player at my thrift, now just need this album. It is the album brings me back to a great time in my life. Love everything about these songs, so smooth so classy. Isaac was our true genius. R.I.P.
It's a great shame that the BBC does not show the original Shaft anymore. I bought this album the next day after the film and played the vinyl till the hole went oval. XXX
My late father who was a plumber once told me worked in there on a job. He said the food was good too. This was a real place in Manhattan. I don’t think it still exists
Back in the 70s a friend introduced me to contemporary jazz with this song! He also told me to check out Wes Montgomery. I’ve been a fan of this music for 50 years. Pat Metheny, Joyce Cooling, Ronnie Jordan… Thanks Steve, wherever you are.
I loved the movie: Shaft with Richard Roundtree & Issac Hayes music...but for some reason or another this one at the Cafe 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯...not that the whole album was not 🚒🔥🔥🔥. Boy I miss back in the days...I just watched Shaft movie again awhile ago. Richard Roundtree did his thing. SMOOTH 👍🏾👍🏾
I am here for it, I was born in 1970. My parents bought tons of 45's, LPs, and 8 Track Tapes. My Dad shaved his head, his influence was Mr.Isaac Hayes. 😂 He ended up meeting him, and found out they both were born and raised in Memphis TN, and attended the same high school.
I was eleven years old when I performed in Doris Jordan's Dance School in Chicago. We did a routine to this selection. On stage at Dunbar H.S. This was one of the best times in my life ❤
@@jacques-christianbeaufranc1588 .....The same brother with the long, parted in the middle hair that was featured on 'Soul Train' playing the lines to "Shine". The Bar-Kay brother can play....
@@garyaugustus1009 This is Michael Toles playing on this album---but Lloyd Smith is the guitarist you're referring to who later joined the BarKays. Toles left in the early 70s when this album was recorded
Crazy thing about this track is its dual life both as a scene setter in a movie and as a standalone work. It has a job to do in conveying a certain kind of atmosphere emanating from a certain kind of Manhattan dining and cocktail establishment in the early 70s. But then it gets that schmaltzy Muzak vibe under your skin and next thing you know it's taking you somewhere beyond New York, and you realize this "background" guitar that was just phoning in a handful of notes is now frantically insisting on your attention and really has something urgent to say, and now has the horn section all worked up.
Love shaft and superfly excellent black music unlike the junk they play today. These so call artist, if you want to call them that can't read music I grew up with Laura lee, sweet baby james and the fantastic four who lived down the street from me, Dorothy Abby, and went to the same music school with Ralph Armstrong who played bass with manuvishu orchestra. He grew up in my neighborhood and would come over and play with me and my brother. Dorothy Ashby taught both my sisters piano lessons at her home around the corner from us. She on to play with earth, wind and fire and the gap band.
Yes, that is true that he was unable to read or write music fluently. However, the part about him humming the arrangement into a tape recorder is total B.S. That was an urban legend created to give him more credit than he was due. Isaac was musically savvy who was smart enough to have musically genius people in his camp. For example, during his ABC years, he stopped working with his Stax arrangers, and the man couldn’t even buy a hit. When he moved to Polydor, the record company insisted that he bring his Stax arranger back otherwise there would be no deal. The hits returned.

Once again soundtrack is a true blue classic of february 1971. Played everywhere. Number 1 on the jazz charts of the time

Memories of love and perfection in music
My late father who was a plumber once told me worked in there on a job. He said the food was good too. This was a real place in Manhattan. I don’t think it still exists
Cafe reggio its still there, which a Jamaican family who owns six restaurants owns it recently.

The guitarist's style reminds me a little of Wes Montgomery,
For this album, Michael Toles plays: Lead Guitar and Rhythm Guitar.

The Bar-Kay brother can play....
A lot of guitarists did (try to) sound like Wes in the '70s 😉

timeless!!!
Good music never fades
This song..... you can feel class in it
This was on the B-side of "Theme From Shaft," one of the first singles i ever got in 1971. Corking tune.
My Uncle Edward bought me this 8-track tape for my Birthday in the '70s.....R.I.P. Unc Ed, you truly are missed, & a GREAT memory of you.

You sound like a Detroit person! Then you must know that Johnny Allen, a longtime Detroiter, was the Grammy winning arranger on the Shaft Soundtrack.
@@jallenjr1959 I'm from detroit Dorothy ashby use to teach my sister piano lessons and Ralph Armstrong and I went to the same music school.
Issac Hayes was unable to read or write music. He would hum his tunes into a tape recorder and find arrangers to chart them out...
Yes, that is true that he was unable to read or write music fluently. However, the part about him humming the arrangement into a tape recorder is total B.S. That was an urban legend created to give him more credit than he was due. Isaac was musically savvy who was smart enough to have musically genius people in his camp.

Great
Could his music be compared with that of Beethoven?
YES!!!
Yes, if Beethoven composed jazz!
Qa
Absolutely
Just watching Shaft again and this is a great jazz track. Who is the performer??
Nice instrumental music
Michael Toles was about 19 when this was recorded.
Does anyone know the name of the percussive instrument that makes the meaning sound?
A conga player wets his finger and slides it across the head of the conga producing the moaning sound you hear throughout this track
@@johnwarnerhilton Thank you !
@@johnwarnerhilton Remember watching my uncle constantly trying to perfect that technique.
Past life regreshun
Shaft is bad mother .
