Royal Flush - Family Problems (1997) sampled Quincy Jones - Don't Fly If It's Foggy (1966) and Ridiculous Scene (1966)

Artist:  Royal Flush
Song:  Family Problems
Year:  1997
Album:  Ghetto Millionaire



This album had some big tunes that received a lot of radio airplay.  However, this lesser known album cut was my favourite.




Artist:  A Tribe Called Quest
Song:  Jam (Remix)
Year:  2006
Album:  The Lost Tribes



I'm not sure how official this remix is because it appears on this compilation album.




Artist:  Quincy Jones
Song:  Don't Fly If It's Foggy
Year:  1966
Album:  The Deadly Affair (The Original Sound Track Album)



I can't believe that this is the first Quincy Jones sample on this blog.  He could supply many more posts with great samples.  The four-bar sample at 0:25 is used as the main sample for Royal Flush and A Tribe Called Quest.  However...




Artist:  Quincy Jones
Song:  Ridiculous Scene
Year:  1966
Album:  The Deadly Affair (The Original Sound Track Album)



Royal Flush used another sample in the beginning and end of his song, the four-bars starting at 0:00.  For many older soundtrack albums, the songs tend to sound similar and use the same melody played in different ways.  It was a great idea to use this other song to supply another sample for Royal Flush because the two samples blend perfectly.
