BS&T
On my year-end post, I raved about War Photographer which I gave kudos for sampling Blood, Sweat & Tears' Spinning Wheel near the end. "But what of the rest of this awesome song," said I, "from whence come those killer samples?"
REPOST: Jason Forrest - War Photographer
Watch the Music Video.
Well, as it turns out it's made up of THREE Blood, Sweat & Tears tunes-- so read the liner notes. So I dutifully borrowed a Best of BS&T album from work and scoured for said samples.Go Down Gamblin'
The bulk of War Photographer is derived from this raucous (or rock-ous, if you'd like) number with some sweet horn arrangements. Give it up for the horns!Lucretia Mac Evil
Besides Spinning Wheel and Go Down Gamblin', I'm not sure what the third song was, but I was surprised when perusing the album to also recognize this BS&T song as the source of another sample used by the Mint Royale(!), the British electronica duo: Mint Royale - Kenny's Last DanceJack Jones - Spinning Wheel
I found this BS&T cover on the compilation album Live From Las Vegas, which also features some pretty awesome performances of Sammy Davis Jr. on The Lady is a Tramp and Tom Jones on Hard to Handle.

Wow, I've listened to that song 77 times and had no clue. I still can't hear it!
This track is GODLY.
I've been listening to it for the last 2 weeks, blogged about it, posted its video (equally awesome) in myspace bulletins, music forums, played it in local cafe.
