Shaft hands down. A B movie but boy was the music outstanding! Isaac Hayes won the Oscar for best song in shaft. There’s not one song on the double album that isn’t listenable. It’s truly an absolute gem of an album that I still listen to today, 50 years later. Talk about timeless.
The songs Cafe Regio and Ellie’s Love Theme have a jazz feel. Most of the album has an R&B feel. It’s over an hour of great music.
Lady Sings The Blues is a very close second. Diana Ross killed it on this album. The French Jazz Musician Michel Legrand wrote the orchestration. Superbly done!
