Al Hirt - Harlem Hendoo

[saucy05]

This song puts me in trance mode without drugs.

oh yea "STAY COOL MOTHERFUCKERS Y'ALL KNOW THE RULES"

[theguyinthecorner1]

I thought Damu The Fudgemunk sampled this [too]?

[oskarjankovic]

"HIp Hop is my main bitch, got a few on the side"

[MeshaChannel]

De La Soul's "Ego Trippin' (Part II) "and The Roots's "Stay Cool" have brought a new generation to appreciate jazz music.

[frankz77]

De La Soul sample from "ego trippin'... One of the must have in hip hop history...

[FUZATl]

I feel like i'm on my flying carpet on a hot summer day.

[Profit2Success]

A tone that is so unique. Always will love his sound.

[kinstube]

WOWZERZ !!! THIS IS THAT ISH. THATK YOU.

[niggabot]

Wow, this guy is great. It seems like people my own age like it too - Judging by the choice vocabulary.

[Stetz1010]

Check out 8thw1 - Harlem Hindu - Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiire.

[joecrackass]

Nice...

[NJbakintheday]

Aiiiight! Where can I find the MP3 for this? 

[50sMusicMan]

@NJbakintheday -- I have a copy of it, one of my favorite jazz cuts...let me know if you still want it...

[GantzIsSloppy]

[KarlozWatson]

[SazCaz1940]

[gsian187]

arggh,, arghhh,arggh, arghh,arghhh,argghhhhhhhhhhhh!­!!!!

[mentalgain]

the roots are the perfect band to have sampled such a masterpiece

[caramelsundae711]

reminds me of Egypt everytime i listen 2 this gem i love it

[memyselfandi2311]

this tune is BIG.And noone could sample it better than The Roots.

[sunaJH]

Al Hirt has some very nice suprises, grew up listening to his music, permeated society like a gentle fragrance

sunaj

[bimmerfun]

WOWWWW! That is so hip! Al really did it all.

[SidewalksOfNY315]

You deserved a YouTube medal for this upload. I listen to this song each and everytime I log on to my YouTube account. I may have to upload this song to my page.

[coolmon33]

damu the fudgemuink sampled this also

[jermain703]

DE LA SOUL

[ASEFQZDR]

De La Soul:Ego trippin'(part 2)

[maidoodesu]

nice ! ですね.

[fromBulgaria]

great

[runway2007]

beautiful

[nickheezy]

what album can this be found on

[ZoltarSoulFunk]

@nickheezy It's on 'Soul in the Horn' on RCA Victor LPM 3878 (mono) LSP 3878 (stereo) its pretty hard to find though.

[kenzo5716]

Great music. Terrific sound from a true artist. Never heard this tune before, but big AL sure has a sound and technique all his own. I sure miss him Thanks for the tune!

[jimraw1]

Amazing performance by Al. I can't believe that Al refused to consider himself a jazz trumpeter. While he did a lot of pop pieces, tunes like this are certainly rooted in jazz - he just doesn't receive the credit he deserves.

[tschuba35]

I first heard this on Ego Trippin'. By happenstance I heard this on the radio at an Ethiopian Restaurant in DC a few years later. I always wanted to hear it again. Thanks!!!

[guitar16]

...shit on me....this is fuckin GOLD!

[gergoperlaki]

Diese Musik ist ganz phantasisch!!

[sabaziomc]

Meios samples :O

[MACKMAN10000]

is this al "he's the king" hurt?...

[memyselfandi2311]

one-maybe silly-question : is this marvellous piece of art sampled in a Doors song ?

[antumamo]

EGO TRIP, EGO TRIP!!!

man de la soul has good taste

[tetris11boy]

Is it just me or does 1:09 sound like

They Might be Giants - Birdhouse in your soul,

specifically the "Not to put too fine a point on it, say Im the only bee in your bonnet."

[djscrandy]

The Roots - Stay Cool

[agilliam1018]

Man this is incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[RAHdub1]

unbelieveable! youtube can be a wonderful machine! follow the candy trail of music and you'll find gold!

[chkjns]

@RAHdub1 - you are SO right, & I'm making the pot at the end of the rainbow! So far, 7000 songs on 450 playlists, over 300 by artist and one for every year since 1900, music from around the world.

I'm expanding Al Hirt's playlist tonight. I'm trying to offer the most accesable music archive you can find!

[munderwoodfoto]

Now im sumthin lika phenomenon, im sumthin lika phenomenon...!!!

[maxiprom]

[marekniitlongwalk]

the roots - "stay cool" sampled this song, I LOVE EM BOTH !!!!!!!

[tricedatrigga]

De La did justice to this.

[grandmasterkrush]

I think Wu-Tang Clan's C.R.E.A.M also samples this song.

[gionenaw]

Yep yep big trucker mans rollin in town

How ya do how ya do

I got the joints to make ya...jump!

AAAAAAAA!!!!!

[grandmarquisinspace]

[a6pa]

incredible tune, 5 star

[robotechian23rd]

i love the organor keyboard sound sounds like medieval melodies

[chillstar]

I think you're right- it is medieval. It's called a harpsichord and sounds great here. What a track.

[lahism7]

allright doooo da damn thang player

[FluxSB]

also sampled by 'Nightmares On Wax' for 'Damn'

[PrimalXL]

♫ Ego Trip ,Ego Trip ,Ego Trip♫

[bigboylikesalsa]

mercy.... mercy.... mercy..... mercy!

ahhh ahh ahh ahh ahhh ahhh ahhhhhhhh!

[rw5791]

put some hirt on them.

[trace333]

This is an absolutly incredible song. Thank you Roots for bringing this original sound back. "Stay cool mutha fuckas ya'll know the rules!"

[40kjayw]

After hearing Dj Kool Breez play this, i went and bought 4 of his albums. Dope song.

[Mos141]

I think the song is only on one of his albums....lol.....I hear ya dope artist !!

[amoeba12]

I have not heard this since I was a child! Thanks for this posting.

[tommygaston]

Al was a real gone gasser, king of the 1960's. I'm so glad to have known him..

tommy "gee" gaston

[harmacist]

Sweeetttt!!!! Thanks so much for this post ... I first heard this through "Damn" by Nightmares on Wax then found out it was a De la Soul sample ... and finally now I've found the original piece!!! Thanks so much!!!! "Ego trippin' down the mother f**kin' stairs!!!"

[AmbraBlu]

haha, same here

[saucy05]

I hope quest love didn't take credit for production, he basically took the whole song and slapped some bells and whistles. lol

[HazBro07]

Just amazing, reminds me of how felt the first time i herd Tom Scott - Today, after hearing T.R.O.Y.

[Pirate7X]

Great tune!

And to hell with what you heard, HIP HOP SAMPLING WILL NEVER DIE! AND IT'S THE BEST MUSIC HISTORY EDUCATION OUT THERE!

[cynicallyfit]

I can only agree. So many of my agemates and students have learned about jazz, funk, soul and classic hip-hop by finding out where Kanye West, for example, sampled from.

Pretty sick, if you ask me.

[BIGDO13]

ill.....

[slappy6817]

Sultry, mystereous, hot and cool all at the same time. This is what music is all about. Its pure brilliance by any standard.

[stoinge]

wow!

always

[SWEETTIZ]

word em up cuz!

[frkndopetastic]

dela's version is pretty on point too but the roots use more of the song, its almost like a whole remake

[h2junkey]

I definitely like the Roots version on the track "Stay Cool".

[belmie]

stay cool is that heat. i never knew de la soul sampled this too. i gotta check it out.

[Shadesofgreen18]

I second that emotion

[jedimind24]

correction "i second that notion"

[Shadesofgreen18]

uh....no thanks, "I second that EMOTION" is right. Thats from Futurama, also from a song by The Miracles....so please find someone else to correct cuz im all good here.

[cynicallyfit]

LOL.

[punkeruit1965]

true, very true. but i'm very happy to hear this original too. very cool....aaaaaahhh

[latadezinc]

how many times have i listened to this in my life?

i'll never get sick of it

well maybe a dockers commercial could spoil it

[32000BTUGasGrill]

nightmares on wax sampled this for the track "Damn"

[kamesan]

Dammit there you go again incrediblecHiller, putting up another classic sample B4 I can dig it up in the crates!! ;)

[Dig4Me]

Hendo is short for Henry. Its an Uptown thang HARLEM USA. Keep up on digging. Your Good.

[incrediblecHiller]

Glad i could help. :-)

Really loving this sample. But what the hell is a "hendo"? I have no idea...

[buckeyefan05]

Damu The Fudemunk Sampled this too for one of his beats on his instrumental album "Spare Time"

[NashidBey]

@incrediblecHiller "Hindu" ...check the melody of the keys and the trumpet at the beginning, it has that India vibe. Harlem Hendoo/Funky Indian. ;-)

[SidewalksOfNY315]

Hendoo - A bachelorette party.

[oovalen]

@incrediblecHiller
