  • AS WE PROCEED...

  • @gluer73k - you're right - Just Blaze actually, sampled the this puppy and Jay killed it - J. Cole uses the smoothness from the beat well, but not the essence of the song. Both songs are good in their own right.

  • J.A Electronica sampled it first before J.Cole.

  • Cole World sample list...The Warm Up!! XD

  • I noticed that this song has a different "sound"/version, if you will. I like it very much!

  • I love Billy Stewart!!!!!

  • great sounding record! i love Chess Records 45's back then

  • J.Cole Sampled This in his song "Get Away"

  • Call me Jay Elec-Hannukah

  • Billy Stewart was a genius he was way ahead of his time. I'm 62 now and his music still sounds better than this mess they have out now good music truly lives on.

  • BACK IN THE DAY WHEN I WAS 16 (NOW 60 ) THE BOY I WAS MADLY IN LOVE WITH AND IM STILL TODAY ( BUT WE AREN'T MARRIED) USE TO SING THIS TO ME. OH IF WE COULD ONLY GO BACK. THE ONLY WAY WE CAN IS WITH GREAT MUSIC LIKE THIS...

  • I love billy's songs billy we love you and even though I wasn't born yet ( same year though ) grew up listening to hos music

  • I ( David Henderson-bass player) had the great experience to play behind Billy on the road as part of his band. I left a few months before his unfortunate accident. He was an awesome entertainer. I along with my fellow writers (David Scott, Warren Hagood II, and Sidney Pinchback), wrote this song especially for Billy.

  • And just think, I would've forgotten about this if it not been for the sample... I would've never looked for it.. cared about it.. or had a new favorite track...

  • I'm from Philly and Billy Stewart was the best. Saw him perform live he was great. Young people these days don't know what it like to sing for real with a live band. Billy could make you fall in love.

    caramel kiss

  • I'm from Philly and Billy Stewart was the best. Saw him perform live he was great. Young people these days don't know what it like to sing for real with a live band. Billy could make you fall in love.

  • Wonderful indeed. He performed this at the Regal theater before it closed on 47th Street in Chicago. Having experienced Mr. Stewart and many of songs at that theater, I can say that he was one of t he best that ever graced the stage. Had his own band, singers, he was smooth as silk with diamonds sparkling and sharp as heck. Awesome. I am happy I had those experiences. Peace and RIP Mr. Steward. :D

  • Thank you to Jay Electronica for bringing the gem into my life!

  • And so, just when you might think he only had "a few good ones", Billy Stewart reminds us once again just HOW FANTASTIC he truly was. This one is among the greatest recordings every made in music. Perfection when it happens in the world....so rare, but it does happen. Every aspect (every part of the vocals and band work) of this song, this recording, is flawless perfection. It's mind-bending.

    The lyrics are powerful and awe-inspiring.

  • wow i have not heard this song in years great song love you tube

  • What a GREAT Song.  Thank you Bnkman I am from Philly and this another philly icon!

  • LOVE THIS SONG>>>GLAD JAY ELECTRONICA SAMPLED THIS!!!!

  • i have never even heard of this song until i heard the jay elect. sample. now, i love this song just as much as jay's song. thats part of the beauty of hip hop, sampling makes you go dig up other artist and in some cases bring old artist back.

  • Jay Elec live from New Orleans straight killed this....

  • WHO THE FUCK IS JAYS ELECTRIC....LOL...BILLY STEWART IS AND ALWAYS IS THE SINGER TO THIS FINE SONG...RIP BILLY..WE GOT SUM HATERS IN HERE...BUT WE ALL KNOW U THE ORIGINAL

  • dis song brings bac memorys

  • az kills this beat (az- exhibit A)

  • JCole & Jay Electronica both beasted on this song .

  • JAY ELECTRONICA MURDERED THIS SONG

    

  • Love the ultra-masculine harmonies at the end of the song.

  • j cole - get away

  • $0.50 7th grade dance...

    That was a song to get close to a chick........  All the slow ones.

  • J. Cole - "Get Away" sampled this, and Jay Electronica "Exhibit C" sampled this (Prod. by Just Blaze). SIck sample and tracks. Bily Stewart!

  • true ballad that every man needs to play to his woman

  • @mrsam2009 this's what Im talkind about

  • i like the idea of samplin now cuz they bridge the gap from music back then to now it does depend heavily on who is samplin the trak tho cuz erybody caint do it

  • @johnmayes04 Sampling is horrible. Its stealing somebody else s creativity. Back in the day they played their instruments and sang and they had no technology. Today music is a joke for the most part. Hip hop rap even most of today's jazz is a joke. Rock too. Seriously who cares who sampled what. What matters is who played and sang the original tune. Who wrote it etc.

  • @MikeHF you must be completely deaf, listen to this song sampled in Exhibit C by Jay Electronica and tell me it's stealing, because it sounds nothing like this. the idea of sampling isn't to steal its to build upon whats already there. theres no way you can imitate the sound of sampling because its the unique sound of so many instruments and sounds being chopped up and re-arranged. its the basis of hip-hop and most original jazz cats disagree with you.

  • @FKRAPCITY I have been a musician since the mid 70s. Most if not ALL jazz cats agree with me. Hip hop and sampling is a slap in the face to soul music and the musicians that played it. And no I will not listen to sampling or should I say stealing classic melodies and chop them up as most non musicians and computer geeks are capable of doing. Listen to Miles Davis Four and more and if you have the capacity to understand it you will get more enjoyment out of that versus sampling.

  • @MikeHF i enjoy listening to Miles Davis. and i doubt they all do since i don't think i can name a (good) famous hip-hop musician whos father or mother isnt a famous jazz musician. for someone whos been a musician for so long, you sure do have a narrow-minded and unenlightened view on the matter.

  • beautifull song, jay electronica and just blaze sampled a beautifull doo wop soul ballad. Wow I love this song and the feeling it gives me. To all people this is music for the soul.... This is spirit love soul music. Im in spirit!!!

  • J Cole rapped on this beat

  • reminds me of slick rick sittin in my car

  • Actually, that would be 43 years ago. I was born in 1967. :)

  • J. Cole on Get Away

    Just Blaze on Exhibit C. Oh yeah hip hop is in here!

  • No one chops samples like Just Blaze

  • ah prolly 9th wonder or Kanye West. Them dudes are talented producers also!

  • j.cole sample dis

  • @supabad09 oh on Get Away yeahhh!!!!!

  • just blaze - exhibit c. Jay elect spit that fire

  • I love Billy Stewart...this song is perfectly put together in every way...for as long as i live i could never pick fault in this...thanks for sharing it Bankman 58.

  • sick As Fu%? Jay electronica sample steeze good shit

  • just blaze found a hidden gem and jay elec just just went off man damn! easily best hip hop song of 09 and in came out in December!

  • Always remember when an artist does the same song of another person the originator gets paid mechanical royalties

  • J. Cole - Get Away was the best that sampled this one !!!

  • @icedoutskullheads10 naw son just blaze and jay elect got this one

  • @icedoutskullheads10 cole killed it but i didnt really like the way they sampled it exhibit c was better to me

  • @icedoutskullheads10 I Agreee ! Love That Song

  • j.cole destroyed this sample ... as well as jay electronica ..... s/o to the producers who turned this song into 2 different style modern day classics

  • Just Blaze!

  • Heard this sampled on the J. Cole mixtape, The Warm Up, track's called Let's Get Away.

  • great classic ballad by billy"fat boy" stewart from DC.

  • I love this song, Jay Elec murdered the sample on Exhibit C

  • i love this chorus and yeah this song has some high merits and has amazing sampling potential

  • J.Cole killed this man

  • man this song is so beautiful billy stewart's the man. just blaze screwed up with this sample man, that beat sucked. on the real though, billy's the man.

  • The chorus on this song is so strong, like a strong breeze off of a mellow ocean.

  • i sample this song too

  • Billy stewart " Fuck'n Firme "

  • Somethin tells me Just Blaze heard what J cole did with this beat and found the sample and flipped it

  • J Cole Just Blaze and Jay Electronica all did there thing with this sample

  • This song is tough.

    Billy goin' hard on the track.

    Beautiful!

  • WHAT??? Someone who actually appreciated this on its own merits, not just as raw material for sampling???

  • @909kong

    Is it safe to assume your being blatantly sarcastic?

  • know your history people

  • Jay electronica, I love listening to the songs people sample.

  • @UberPwnage56 . Exactly . The heaviest sample that i gathered over the years is the Rustle of Spring sample for Killarmy's Wu- renegades.

  • @UberPwnage56 real shit yo

  • @UberPwnage56 I DO TOO

  • @UberPwnage56 jay electronica kilt this

  • @UberPwnage56 Love WhoSampleDotCom

  • @UberPwnage56 Me Too Yo!

  • just blaze is a sinister maniacal mad man ... wicked.. (props)

  • jay electra

  • Old school is Back niggas The Amazing BILLY STEWART got 2 love it man Justin Blaze u the man 4 this new song u got out with Jay Electronicia

  • Billly Stewart has a beautiful voice!

  • Very very nice

  • Copyiny a song???? ... lmao... it's called sampling? hahahaha what is this sampling you speak of... hahaha

  • Jay Electronica spits butane on beats sampling this joint to blistering effect.

    classic joint

  • @obifromsouthlondon ITS NOT JAY ELECTRONICA...ITS J COLE....

  • Elec had a beat with this sample too, its Exhibit C.

    Cole's was Get Away

  • @obifromsouthlondon

    HE REALLY DOES...!! Dammit if Just Blaze aint flipped the hell outta thisong..!!

  • @Trello ppl like you really exsist?

  • @jehfree562 don't feed the troll

  • You've got it backwards,Trello. Billy Stewart was the original singer on this song. It was recorded 33 years ago in 1967. Jay Electra is copying a song that came out hefore he was even born!

  • he's obviously a little kid... lol

  • Bullshit my nigga. Nice upload, but Jay Electronica "sampled" the song, and on his track, it doesn't even have the exact words.

  • Calm down lol

  • @bankman58 lol sigh...you know he probably had to pay for clearance on this sample...it's not copying and just blaze made the beat not jay :P

  • Not a fan of sampling since you called it copying?....lol....

  • @bankman58 sampling. not copying. and it would be the producer Just Blaze that would be sampling this song. yup.

  • @bankman58 I think you need to check your math. LOL.

  • @bankman58 He's not copying the song, He's sampling only certain parts from it. But Aside from jay this song is great.

  • @bankman58 Copying is a little harsh. It's called sampling. No idea's original, and both songs are great. Thanks for this track though..

  • @bankman58 thats why he said he sampled it. im pretty sure he realizes this came out long before

  • @bankman58 sampling is not copying

  • @claafrica Sampling has gotten lame. What really offends me is not so much the sampling,But the young people who have NO USE for these Great Artists& these Great Tunes until one of their Hero's sample it, Then all of a sudden is has 'credibiltiy' as a song.

  • @Nickcat5 well most of us dont know these songs because they aren't been publicised out there so if anything those who sample them keep the song alive!

  • @Adjei88 R U Serious? Do you really believe they,the sampling artists, 'keep these songs alive'. It is not even remotely their intention to do so. I ,along with many other jocks,will play more Billy Stewert songs in a month than these 'samplings' will do in a year. & That goes for alot of other tunes & artists. You want to learn something,Do some research,. There's nothing wrong with covering a tune or to a lesser extent ,'sampling' it.Just don't let it end there.READ up a bit!

  • @Nickcat5 if it wasn't for sampling who in todays generation would have heard of billy stewart, the whatnuts, the sylvers and all these old singers!

  • @Adjei88 You don't read well.Do you? How do you suppose these artists you favor found out about these tunes they sample?? RESEARCH!!!! And who do you think was really keeping these tunes alive?? I'll tell you,the DJ's on certain radio stations,not the artists you favor.We ,as I said before PLAY MORE of these tunes that the artists could possible produce. Now I ask you,Who do you NOW believe keeps them alive?

  • @Nickcat5 You just have to face the fact that the yong generation today aren't gonna go and RESEARCH old music if it aint being played, they will only be aware of music like this through either their families or through sampling.

  • @Adjei88 You STILL don't read well,Do you? Me,Myself & I along with countless other jocks throughout this country,PLAY the MUSIC!!! You have obvious tunnel-vison about what you're willing to listen to. Over & OUt!!

  • You still don't read well,Do you? Me,Myself & I along with countless other jock throughout this country & probably overseas PLAY THE MUSIC.We are in RADIO,Ever heard of it? You have obvious tunnel vision about what you're willing to listen to. Over & Out!!

  • @Nickcat5 i think what adjei is trying to say is by artists/producers sampling classics it helps spread awareness to todays youth about old artists and singers like billy stewart. And yes you and countless others are keepin it alive by playing the music but that doesn't necessarily mean the youth will be tuning in, They'll be too busy listening to the trendy radio stations and without having heard the sound in the first place how do you expect them to research?

  • @jvtillinfinity in addition it's normal for producers to research music to add flavor to their sound because that's their job. normally you would not expect a kid listening to soulja boy or lil wayne to research some nat king cole or billie holiday songs.

  • @jvtillinfinity A point I've been trying to make along with the I've made earlier/ Thank-You for your input!

  • @jvtillinfinity And unfortunately, I can't tell you how many times I've seen young people turn away with "EEWW,I don't like that!!" As though they just tasted MUD.There was life before the internet & MTV. I used to read liner notes,& I heard songs say ,The Rolling Stones did by Solomon Burke or Otis Redding & it made me curious about these artists,I learned that Otis Redding's tunes extended far beyound 'Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay'. I used to read alot also

  • @Nickcat5 well this generation is more tech based than yours. Unless it's on the internet, people don't read as much as the last generation. There are also plenty of young people who would jump on these types of songs if given the chance to hear it. Whether it's remixed or sampled, if people hear some version of it, it can make them curious enough to find the orginal version. I'm living proof of this.

  • @ChromaticEagle Tech based yes,creative NO. You've got the cart in front of the horse. I learned that a great many Rock n Roll tunes from the 50's & 60's were out of the 20's & 30's & not by another artists 'sampling ' them. Cover versions,yes and Mostly alot of reading. And we did have radio's then. When I learned that the Beatles, the Stones,Hendrix & others worshipped,Bo Diddley,Gene Vincent,Chuck Berry Little Richard & Jerry Lee Lewis (& others) I did my own research on these artists.

  • @Nickcat5 not agreeing with the creativity of this generation's music =/= lack of creativity. I have also learned that a number of songs i listen to are influenced or sampled by/from older songs, mostly through comments or internet searching.

  • @claafrica It's not all that creative anymore either. The term was made up in an attmpet to avoid paying royalties for the creative efforts of many.

  • @bankman58 dude ur math is bad, and Jay Electronica is 34

  • @bankman58 Just Blaaaaze!

  • @bankman58 Right you are bankman58!!! I graduated in 1966 and this song...came out shortly after. A REEEEEAL party song. If I was in a bad mood this one...or any by Mr. Stewart....could get me out of it. ummmmm love this.

  • @Trello LMAO

  • WTF are you talking about?!?!??!?!?

  • what are you talkin about?

  • LMAO. I think it was a joke but still funnny none the less.

  • @Trello you do know that this song came out decades before Just Blaze was even born right? its call sampling

  • Great song here. Just Blaze didnt even sample the best parts of it.  The beat he made was still real tight though...Again, this is a great song.

  • That's because the other part was sampled already by J. Cole on "Get Away"

  • Thats crazy anit it!

    J.Cole killed that as well kids nasty with it

  • "I shock u like a eel and let u feel Jay Electra!"

    "The flow insane plus I got that flame throw that Liu Kang"-J.Cole-Get Away

  • call me jay elec-hannukah

  • J.Cole sampled this shit too on "Get Away"...dope!

  • snitchin
