This is a rather pathetic response to the death of one of the most important musicians in soul/RB. This guy opened so many doors, with just one song, and helped create a genre, not only of music, but of films. Black Moses, Soul Man and Hot-Buttered Soul are musical legends. Not to mention being the first black man to receive an Oscar for a film’s score.
If he had done nothing but Shaft, it would have been a great achievement on it’s own.
Think back over the past 37 years and tell me how many other film themes you can remember-or want to!
