  • Wikipedia says - " His 1976 single "Hot" (I Need To Be Loved, Loved, Loved, Loved)" (R&B #31) borrowed the main riff from "Fame" by David Bowie, not the other way around as was often believed. The riff was provided to "Fame" co-writers John Lennon and Bowie by guitarist Carlos Alomar. Carlos Alomar said once that he wanted to sue James Brown, but Bowie told him "Let's wait and see if it's a hit first". It wasn't, so they didn't bother.

  • It's not a sample (samplers didn't start appearing until the very early 80s. It's actually just a ripoff - James Brown played 'Fame' to his band and they built on it and recorded it as 'Hot (I need to be loved, loved, loved)....

    Carlos Alomar - Bowie's guitarist at the time - had previously played in Brown's band !

  • @pascal3121 actually bowie had used a sample in the song look back in anger, from the beatles blue jay way I believe

  • @crouchhill No one's questioning Brown's influence to funk but that doesn't change the fact that this is an obvious ripoff.

  • even if Brown took it from Bowie, the breakdown from 2:23 to about 3:09 sets the record straight, he's still The Godfather

  • Esto es un gran homenaje!

  • FUCK CARLOS ALOMAR,HE WAS OBVIOUSLY INFLUENCED BY GODFATHER MUSIC WHEN HE WAS IN HIS BAND,QUESTION IS WHO RIPPED WHO OFF, I LET PEOPLE WHO KNOWS GODFATHER MUSIC. JAMES BROWN IS ANOTHER NAME FOR FUNK, THE ORIGINATOR.

  • Possibly one of the best vinyl compilations ever! funky beyond funky.

  • @pascal3121 sample doesn't have to mean that its the actual recording (like in rap songs), the term sampling can refer to borrowing a riff, beat, or bass line. smart ass
