I've never been a big fan of Donaldson, but no could have done his one any better

[salgoudsamoht]

@2grouchy1 i like Mr. Donaldson a lot and have a few of his bluenote albums. in re this song, i assume you're referring to jazz versions because i feel Ms. Gentry is the best, the 4+ min. original version (although edited down from the master take someone said). it's the best of the other 82 versions i've heard on YT. jazz? have you heard the version by the late Mr. Sonny Criss, may he rest in peace, that's done more bop-like with Cedar Walton on piano, Bob Cranshaw, and Alan Dawson? it's good.

[2grouchy1]

@salgoudsamoht I agree the best version of this number is the version by Bobby Gentry, of course she wrote it and that would make a difference i guess. Every version would be measured against hers. I never really could get into Criss stuff. I never liked the tone he got out of the Sax. I guess Coleman Hawkins would have to rank up there with the best of them.

ive been into hip hop 25 years, i get sampling but its very annoying on every rare groove to see someone posting 28273456 rappers who have use the sample. its old news

[longhorn234]

I think the drums on Jadakiss's track "Kiss of Death" was inspired by this track, am I the only one that thinks this?

[MrSexxxy20]

I can't believe this was sampled for Lil' Kim's joint " We Don't Need It" from the Hardcore album. I don't even know what they did to it lmao. If you listen to the song you can't even hear where they have sampled.

[grimslider75]

sampled in the beautiful beat by nomak called "Sancuary"

[Ravesym]

[gqscholar]

dont forget grand puba

[N7YnkaS]

Great!

[pagedwella]

King Tee feat the alkoholics ripped this joint.

[danieldrownr]

Love it. More kudos to songwriter Bobbie Gentry. This has a similar take to rock&roll hall of famer King Curtis cover who took this instrumental track to #5 r&b and #26 pop. Bobbie Gentry's original is still the only female single to chart pop,country and r&b.

[gallantfellow]

Some of my favorite flips of this sample, "On & ON" - (Pete Rock & Cl Smooth), "My Love's On The Way" - (Intro), and of course, can't front on "Jesus Walks" ..like how Kanye used the press roll on the turnarounds - That snare drum is so crispy..Idris Muhammad (drummer) should be gettin' paid for this!

[RVCA91]

@gallantfellow damn i didn't know Idris was on this cut, no wonder it's so smooth with it!! haha

[Eurobubble70]

the break has been sampled by almost everyone

[meechamaka411]

@Eurobubble70 Forever one of hip hop's pioneerin' breaks...I say that 'cuz it stands out like "Funky Drummer", "Impeach The President", "Synthetic Substitution", "It's A New Day/Hihache", etc...jus' my opinion!!!

[FuckThePolize]

@Eurobubble70 na man i think the amen break is more sampled

[Eurobubble70]

@FuckThePolize ?I didnt say that its the most sampled. The amen break is definietly more sampled than this one.

[Slicearoni]

Was used in the Society Hip Hop classic "Yes N Deed" as well

[danishsoul]

cypres hill sampled this track

[celery77]

Hey -- thanks for posting this, for real.

Apparently can be heard in De La Soul's "View" on AOI1 -- fun, huh?
