JAMES COBURN / DANNY TENAGLIA: The first big hit of Danny Tenaglia was 'Bottom Heavy' in 1995. Great track. Great mysterious, techy atmosphere. And a sample no one could ever forget. 'Well, just look over your shoulder cause from now on I'm gonna be right behind you!'
This sample is from a movie called 'Charade' from 1963, and spoken by James Coburn, talking to Cary Grant on the phone.
The movie 'Charade' is actually considered 'Public Domain', which means anybody can use it without paying copyright fees. This is what Wikipedia says about that matter:
"Before 1978, U.S. copyright law required works to include the word "Copyright", the abbreviation "Copr." or the "©" symbol. Because Universal Pictures included no proper copyright notice with Charade, the film entered public domain in the USA immediately upon its release. Copies of this movie, made from film prints of varying quality, have been available on VHS and DVD based on its status in the public domain. However, while the film itself is public domain, the original music remains under copyright.
Universal released an official VHS cassette of the film, transferred from original elements. However, when DVD was introduced, they licensed the film to The Criterion Collection rather than release it themselves. Competing with dozens of unofficial releases, the more expensive 2000 Criterion disc featured the only authorized professional transfer of the film on DVD. Universal eventually issued a version on DVD as a bonus feature included with the release of "The Truth About Charlie", a 2002 remake. It is available for free download at the Internet Archive."
What an epic sample, and classic tune. Takes me way back
