R&B ass e weideren Deel vun hirem Hannergrond, awer si ass och net wierklech eng Soul Sängerin, zumindest net esou wéi d'Aretha Franklin.

Gegrënnt 1968, mat 300 Milliounen verkaaften Alben, ass et eng vun den erfollegräichste Bands iwwerhaapt.

Google no gouf en 244 Mol gesampelt an ass domat ee vun de beléiftste Sample Materialie fir Hip-Hop-Producer. En ënnerscheet sech vun den anere Lidder vun der Plack duerch säin extreem catchy Refrain. Et war dem James Brown säi politeschste Song a senger Karriär. Hien huet de propperen R'n'b vun den Ufäng 60er hanner sech gelooss an trëtt hei selbstbewosst a militant op. Effektiv seet de Brown am Lidd "Say it loud", wourops him e Chouer vu Kanner "I'm black and I'm proud"...2022-08-2507 minDe Sample vun der WochCurtis Mayfield - Move On UpNom Hype ronderëm dem Kanye West senger verfilmter Biographie op Netflix wollt de Bobby Bieles dem Personnage nach eng Chance ginn a schwätzt iwwer dem Curtis Mayfield säi "Move on Up" vun 1970, e Lidd vu ronn néng Minutte vu sengem Album "Curtis".

Bei West End Records erauskomm, deemools deen décksten Disco Label vun New York. Mat sengen 100bpm war d'Lidd fir e Post-Disco Track nach zimmlech lues, dofir hat et am Ufank Schwieregkeete sech als danzbar duerchzesetzen. Mee de Larry Levan huet gehollef en Hit doraus ze maachen. Hie war nämlech ee vun den bedeitendsten DJe vun der New Yorker Disco Paradise Garage, wou hie méi wéi zéng Joer Resident war. Hie gouf do wéi en Hallef-Gott ugesinn, wann...2022-07-2806 minDe Sample vun der WochMulatu Astatke - Kasalefkut-HuluDe Mulatu Astatke ass e bunnbriechende Museker, deen 1945 an Äthiopie gebuer gouf.
