      Well anything live adds to the texture with all the musicians watching them. The original does sound the same I agree. I don’t know when this came out but I’m 63 and graduated HS 77.

He was the first black man to do a complete major motion picture who controlled his publishing...he has so much money my friend. He was giving a away licenses on word of mouth. He was a giver and he did music for free in a lot of cases over the years. FACTS! Another person is Kevin Bacon - he is doing everyone's sessions with guitar work.

      They all have no clue about reaching down, pulling themselves up by their bootstraps, putting one foot in front of the other and walk on over to that big box store where they have that sign saying "Hiring Now"
      They will have their opportunity to hear the music as soon as they walk right over to that big store, get down and fill out that simple application.
      And when they / you do the time, stay with that big store (Kroger, Home Depot, Lowes, etc.,etc., you will be rewarded by those at corporate.)

    It’s 20 years after this was done, and it just goes to show that great music never dies! It sounds as good today as it did back then, and while many of the talented artists from the past have passed away, thanks to the technology we now have, we’re still able to watch the videos of the performances! It’s a shame that many of the ‘younger’ generation doesn’t seem to appreciate this type of music.

    So lucky to see Isaac Hayes my only first time live back in 1975 when he and his orchestra did a show at Ocean Shores, Washington. A nice little ocean side resort on the coast of Washington State.
    So Mr. Hayes and all arrive on stage and with all that huge overflow audience and he calmly and graciously immediately says something like 'oh yes, we're here at an ocean side resort, but where are the curvacious swinging palm trees to be at this ocean side resort?"
    The overflow audience howled with laughs because we knew exactly what he was talking about. This is the Washington State Coast. Haha.
    Man. What a show, what a show Mr. Hayes and his crew did.

    I got to meet him and have dinner with him once in Chicago. It was the coolest thing ever. A guy I worked with in Chicago was always bragging how he knew this guy or that guy and when Isaac Hayes was in town he said oh yeah he was an old college brother of mine. Of course I’m thinking yeah whatever. I worked for Winery at the time and we were dropping some wine off at the venue, and all of a sudden Bobby is nowhere to be found. I I track him down and he sitting backstage at a table eating with Isaac Hayes. Bobby introduces me and Isaac starts telling me all the stories of Bobby from back in the day how they were best buddies and just had lost touch. Clearly Bobby went up a few points that day. I’m a huge fan of Isaac Hayes and especially this song

And we weren't even showing the movie! This was the one everyone was talking about, and one of the biggest things that had everyone buzzing was Isaac Hayes! What a theme! What an entrance for John Shaft! It was on everyone's radio, all the time! It was on everyone's record player, all the time! Everyone I knew had the foldout cover for BLACK MOSES on their wall! Hayes deserves every accolade he ever got for his work, and it's so sad that he left us too soon. God Bless you, Isaac, for all the brilliance you gifted us with.
