Common - Invocation (1997) sampled Jimmy Ponder - Jennifer (1976)

Artist:  Common
Song:  Invocation
Year:  1997
Album:  One Day It'll All Make Sense

It's a short introduction type of song but was my favourite on this album.

Artist:  MF Grimm
Song:  Scars And Memories
Year:  2005
Album:  Scars & Memories

This song proves that any loop lifted from Jimmy Ponder's "Jennifer" will sound good.

Artist:  Jimmy Ponder
Song:  Jennifer
Year:  1976
Album:  Illusions

A song full of samples, I have enjoyed listening to this for over 20 years.

The Common sample is a two-bar loop at 2:38.  Occasionally, the sample at 2:45 comes in for a bar and then the short sample from 2:42 plays before going back to the main loop.

MF Grimm used the four-bar loop from 0:56.

Choclair - Back Where I've Stayed (2003) sampled Michael Jackson - I Wanna Be Where You Are (1971)

Artist:  Choclair
Song:  Back Where I've Stayed
Year:  2003
Album:  Not Officially Released

The version of this song that appears on the Flagrant album is not the one that Torontonians know and love.  This original version was produced by Tone Mason and received a lot of local radio play.

Artist:  C-Rayz Walz
Song:  The Art Of Energy
Year:  2009
Album:  Who The F%@k Are You?

Here's a more recent song that stayed true to the same sample.

Artist:  Michael Jackson
Song:  I Wanna Be Where You Are
Year:  1971
Album:  Got To Be There

The Choclair sample is a two-bar loop from 0:00.  Four bars of singing from 0:33 were also used in the chorus.

C-Rayz Walz used the same two-bars from 0:00 but repeats the first bar multiple times before using the second bar.
