Ladies, whose the John Shaft in your life?

Actor: Strive! Strive for something more.

Shaft, a film in 1971 staring Richard Roundtree. He was John Shaft. A private detective.

Ladies, is there a John Shaft around you today in your area? You’ll need him when you’re alone on the street surrounded by gangsters. You’ll need him when that thief grabs your pocketbook. That’s the time when nobody may be around. You might say, “Where the men at?”

Some of them ought to be ashamed of themselves stealing and abusing women. That’s no man. We need men today.

Shaft is a double album by Isaac Hayes recorded for Stax Records' enterprise label.

If anything, John Shaft should have had an impact on guys. We need real heroes to help take a bite out of crime. It’s a man’s world. John Shaft did lead. He had spunk. He got up to move. And you’re listening to Sound Flave. A sound with flavor. I’m your host Gail Nobles.
