RIP Richard Roundtree

[MrReindeer-9515]

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 ya dig it?

Who's the cat that won't cop out 
When there's danger all about? 
(Shaft!) 
Right on! 
You see this cat, Shaft is a bad motha- 
(Shut your mouth!) 
But I'm talkin' about Shaft! 
(Then we can dig it!) 
He's a complicated man, 
But no one understands him but his woman 
(John Shaft!)

This is another one that cuts deep…

Agreed. Seems like all of our heroes from the past are no longer with us.

Makes me sad.

He will be missed and was a ground breaker.  From what I've read he was great to work with.  RIP.

I hated to see Shaft go down. I saw his last movie where 3 generations of “Shafts” took down the bad guys. Great as usual.
