Awwwwwwwww
. I loved his style of singing on Shaft and I liked his performance in Escape from NY. I'll need to watch that again, this time not for fun or a good movie night, but at the falling of a star.
Rest in peace, duke of New York, A #1.

Who's the black private dick
That's a sex machine to all the chicks?
SHAFT!
Ya damn right!
Who is the man that would risk his neck
For his brother man?
SHAFT!
Can you dig it?
Who's the cat that won't cop out
When there's danger all about?
SHAFT!
Right On!
They say this cat Shaft is a bad mother
SHUT YOUR MOUTH!
I'm talkin' 'bout Shaft.
THEN WE CAN DIG IT!
He's a complicated man
But no one understands him but his woman
JOHN SHAFT!
My condolence to Isaac Hayes and his family. RIP Isaac Lee Hayes, Jr.
