That's the same string line as D'YA THINK I'M SEXY by Rod Stewart, lol. In fact, they both stole it from JORGE BEN's song Taj Mahal. The distinctive riff came from an instrumental song called "Taj Mahal" by a Brazilian musician named Jorge Ben. When Ben filed suit, Stewart agreed to give proceeds from the song to UNICEF. The string line came from a Bobby Womack song said Stewart: "I told Bobby and he thought that was real cute - 'cos you can nick string lines without breaching copyrights".
@warrenginmartini Actually this song has nothing to do with Taj Mahal, Rod Stewart did plagiarize both songs, the riff from this song and the chorus from Taj Mahal. Just listen to both and see for yourself, this song is just this song.
@warrenginmartini I couldn't believe my ears when I heard this song. Whoa! Glad I'm not the only who picked up on it immediately. Must check out JORGE BEN'S TAJ MAHAL now :-)
Where has this song been all my life?!! I LOVE THIS TRACK!!! Damn, Bobby...what have I been missing all these years? He put his foot in this one! A+++.....I need more of this in my life.
Just love this song!!!
