Real Live - Ain't No Love (1996) sampled Freddie Hubbard - Little Sunflower (1979)

Artist:  Real Live
Song:  Ain't No Love
Year:  1996
Album:  The Turnaround: The Long Awaited Drama (on CD known as The Turnaround: A Long Awaited Drama)



I recently heard a song called "One Life" by DJ Jazzy Jeff & Ayah featuring Toronto's own Tona.  It used the same Freddie Hubbard sample that Real Live used, but won't be posted here because I want to highlight the two songs that made me originally search for this loop.  "Ain't No Love" is a great use of the sample, K-Def created a masterpiece here.  I highly recommend this album.




Artist:  A Tribe Called Quest
Song:  The Love
Year:  1998
Album:  The Love Movement



Real Live is letting you know that there Ain't No Love.  A Tribe Called Quest is all about The Love.  Freddie Hubbard is sharing The Love Connection.  Happy Valentine's Day!




Artist:  Freddie Hubbard
Song:  Little Sunflower
Year:  1979
Album:  The Love Connection



I want to reiterate that I'm a big Freddie Hubbard fan.  Al Jarreau joins in on the vocals for this classic song sometimes known as "Sunflower".  The Real Live sample occurs at 0:02 and extends for the length of a 2-bar loop.  The A Tribe Called Quest sample starts right at 0:00 and extends for a 4-bar loop.
