Okay the first one by the Charmels I don’t know, but the second one by Rose Royce is sampled by S-Express see below.         

 

 

Okay I’ll throw in a very simple one by the SOS Band.

Not sure about the S xpress one because there has been a few mixy mixes of it,but SoS band remake was Beats International - Dub Be Good To Me..Top Tune !!

that dub be good to me was a tune,the bassline in it was from the guns of brixton by the clash,they sued them for using it

ghettoman - 2011-07-16 10:01

Gee ... how about - Be glad that you are Working !!! & have employment + an income $ of some sort...

Don't ya'll have internet @ Home ? - to be able to view video's from there?

brutus442 - 2011-07-23 11:24

Hey James...ease off the attitude. There was no attempt to brag here....just a simple fact.

 

Also I do not have internet at home currently as they are currently upgrading the coaxial/ DSL lines in the area. So my only fix of Stereo2go IS at work

 

Cheers

Okay guys let’s get back to the music, here is a track I love and it has been done to death but I still love it.

 

Dave Brubeck Quartet – Take Five

 

See how many versions you can name.

 

isolator42 - 2011-07-25 03:31

Yeh, I have internet at home. However I also have a wife & four kids, so rather less time for mucking around on the internet - too much real life to be getting on with.
I visit s2g, Facebook, etc. when I need a quick break from work, but the firewall is closing in... grr.

stereo2go - 2011-07-25 06:28

I'm not a jazz lover, but Take Five is a classic, toocool.  The original is the only version I've ever heard on the radio...wasn't aware of other versions.

 

I didn't know much about the Quartet, but I read that because one of the members was African-American the group was not permitted to perform in some places.

samsnite - 2011-07-25 06:49

Flippin it around, name original track AND tracks with samples from original! Easy and fun.

Yes that is correct in the 60’s when they still had segregation in America, Dave Brubeck Quartet where due to play on a TV show but they did not want to let the black member of the group on. They told Dave to get a white man to play that part and Dave said no.

 

Okay I can name a few of the re-makes of Take 5, which I have but I’m sure there are more. 

 

King Tubby - Take Five

 

XL Singleton - Take Five

 

 

George Benson - Take Five

 

 

Tito Puente - Take Five

 

 

Al Jarreau - Take Five

 

 

Quincy Jones - Take Five

 

 

Samsnite I think the original sample came from Patrice Rushen’s – Forget me nots

 

 

samsnite - 2011-07-26 04:19

YES! Toocool4 is right! Now name some tracks that sampled it. There are at least two really well known tracks.
