Shaft is a
defining song of the seventies. The song dramatically influenced funk and soul
throughout the decade as well as black culture. Hayes won an Academy Award for Best Original Song, which
was a first for a black artist. The film also influenced the decade and
filmmakers beyond the seventies. It opened the door for the black action hero
and blacksploitation flicks.
