HERE COMES THAT SOUND AGAIN < previous next >
| (Alan Hawkshaw) |
| (o): | Love De-Luxe (1979) | label: WB |
| | With Hawkshaw's Discophenia. Vocal: Vicki Brown & Jo Ann Stone; n°1 dance hit US. |
| (c): | Sugarhill Gang (1979) [clearly (Les Hurdle's) bass part in the intro of Rapper's Delight, which of course borrows Chic's Good Times throughout the rest; the very first rap hit US, n°3 UK, n°1 NL, n°2 B], |
| |
| Alan Hawkshaw was Hammond player with The Mohawks (The Champ - '68), again with bassist Les Hurdle. The Champ, borrowing from Tramp as by Otis & Carla (see there), must rank among the most sampled tracks in British chart history: in Eric B Is President (Eric B & Rakim), Step Into A World (KRS-One), The Big Payback (EPMD), Here Comes The Hotstepper (Ini Kamoze), Friday (Ice Cube), Keepin' The Faith (De La Soul), Gonna Breakthrough (Mary J. Blige)... |
