exile Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 (edited) I see there's a site whosampled.com. I never knew Norman Cook was involved with that Eric B/Rakim track... https://www.whosampled.com/sample/2647/Eric-B.-%26-Rakim-I-Know-You-Got-Soul-(Six-Minutes-of-Soul-the-Double-Trouble-Remix)-The-Jackson-5-I-Want-You-Back/ Edited November 24, 2023 by exile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 (edited) So it looks like you can post the link to the site, or a screenshot of it, but not both: not a visual link that can be directly played. But, worth a try. Edited November 24, 2023 by exile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) Funkadelic - Good Old Music I heard this version first, so for me this was always the 'original' (not the one with Nat King Cole sample) Edited November 25, 2023 by exile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StirlingEgg Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Samples Run DMC and the Misson Impossible theme. From Tricks of the Shade, one of my favourite albums and a bit of an American history lesson with wee skits in between tracks. "Hey Mr Columbus, you took all our money" "No I didn't kid, I discovered it!" (evil laugh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim Jim Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I have an old copy of Volume II, and this is attributed to Paige/Plant, so can't be a cover 😅 Therefore they must surely have sampled Sonny Boy Williamson's Willie Dixon song? 🙊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Jim Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 BTW vol.II is my favourite Zeppelin album. Given the smash hit of their first, I think they naively chucked vol.II out while touring to cash in quick, featuring their favourite blues tunes, but got caught in the $potlight of their popularity. Just my opinion, but... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the Nat King Cole ref about though? Ah the good old days of walkmans and Pan Am and cassette singles! A version of the song - the most common and/or album version - starts off with an awful dreary dirge that sounds like some old film - turns out it's a sample of Nat King Cole (as I only just found out via whosampled.com): https://www.whosampled.com/sample/275458/Living-Colour-Love-Rears-Its-Ugly-Head-Nat-King-Cole-Lush-Life/ As I say, I heard the other version first, so when I bought the album (probably off the back of it) I was suprised and disappointed to hear this dirge of an opening instead.

exile Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 (edited) Something reminded me of Queen's We will Rock You. I heard the 'fast' version (on Queen Live Killers I think), first, and for me that is always 'the' version of the song, and was surprised to later hear of this awful dirge of a stompy clappy aberration and could not understand why you hear that version 99% of the time. Almost never the (superior!) faster version. It's almost a new song. Could almost call it a sample 😉 or is it a cover?

I may need to go out and take some air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Jim Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Sitting here with a beer I can't help spouting pish. I try not to be negative though as an attack on someone's song can be taken as an attack on their personality... Most folk aren't too keen on a lot of my tunes though, and I like it that way 🤘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now: I recognise 3 samples, one being Mustapha, making that for now the most sampled song on here, who'd a thunk it? 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
