Share this article

    Back in 1973 the Four Tops were hot, straight off their smash Keeper of the Castle album. And when they were asked to sing the theme song to the Shaft sequel, Shaft In Africa, they were ready.

    Check out the song below and the clips from the accompanying movie. Do you remember "Are You Man Enough?"
