How to make a hit using samples: Modjo - "Lady"

For those who were born in the 80s "Lady", from French act Modjo, is an all-time favourite. It owes its success to the original Chic's "Soup For One", written by the most sampled songwriting duo of dance music, Rogers & Edwards. Rate, comment and share on your blog if you like!

WOW, I had no idea Chic were sampled for this track.

I wonder if there's a song of theirs that HASN'T been sampled :o)

I'm really enjoying your videos - takes me back to the "stone age" when I used to mess around with samples on my old Amiga 1200 and Octamed.

And I'm glad you're finding CamStudio useful ;o)

Cheers

Nick :o)

Lady, hear me tonight,

Cos my feeling is just so right.

As we dance,

By the moonlight.

Can't you see, you're my delight

Lady, I just feel like

I won't get you outta my mind

I feel love for the first time

And I know that it's true I can tell by the look in your eyes

...man...that can get stuck in your head .
