Can you dig it? Theme from Shaft 🎬 performed by Ashton Jones and the BBC Concert Orchestra at the #BBCProms. Theme from Shaft is a hugely influential slice of funk and soul that won the Oscar for Best Original Song in 1972. Isaac Hayes, aged 29, was a global superstar by the time of the Academy Awards ceremony, where he capitalised on his stardom in grand fashion with a full-on performance of the song wearing sunglasses and chains on his bare chest - his Black Moses persona.
