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.
