He put this movie on the map with his Oscar winning music.

I found out about Mr. Hayes yesterday after i just got back in town from vacation. What a bummer.

Isaac and Gordon Parks together produced what is still one of the funkiest movie soundtracks of all-time--not just the well-known theme song, but tunes like "Cafe Reggio", "Soulsville" and "Do Your Thing" are funk/soul classics that you can still groove to no matter your age IMO.

Sleep well, Black Moses.

Shaft is one of the all time great movies. To me, it is a classic. Has everything an action movie should and the theme music is the BEST.
