Posted May 25, 200916 yr Someone over at Trojan has asked what tune is being sampled by MF Doom and Wu Tang Clan. It's a piece of late 70s or early 80s Jazz-Funk or "Club" Soul. I have the tune, but I'm blowed if I can dig the tune out of my head or find it in my database It's here - it's mostly the opening bars, but right at the end several indistinct sung words creep into the sample: https://www.box.net/shared/js0h63iulq It's probably (very) obvious. Please can someone put me out of my misery? ...musically, that is Many thanks

May 25, 200916 yr Author dig some tracks out by him great underated talent, find a record called (what can i say )great track Thanks, newone. I'm well-enough aware of Boz Scaggs, but avoided buying his stuff back in the 70s - probably because a. it wasn't soulful enough to my ears, so b. the snob in me wouldn't let me shell out any hard-earned on music other than Soul-Disco and Reggae. ...having heard LOWDOWN sampled at least 20 times today, while trying desperately to remembere what the tunes was, maybe I should invest in at least a "Best of..." ...when I eventually get a job and some money
May 26, 200916 yr Lowdown is a great record - the LP is in most UK charity shops, and it's on 45 too... just listened to the other track and that's really awful... - the vocals are actually from the excellent Gravediggaz 1st LP not the Wu Tang Clan (although the groups shared a common member), but that's a really terrible remix/mashup/whatever
