[@nubiagoldd]

Mind blown 🤯 🤯🤯 when you discover where the samples came from 🤣🤣

[@BittersweetDuality]

Similar to what was done for the Nas song featuring Lauryn Hill called If I Ruled the World. They put together three songs by Whodini, Kurtis Blow, and Delfonics to make one masterpiece to top them all. It’s an awesome experience putting them together in a playlist in chronological order and listening to it front to back. Putting the playlist in the order of which song was sampled through the runtime of the Nas song works too. I wonder if there’s a third song the Fugees sampled for their version of Ready or Not?

[@ImmortalDynastyTarot]

Same! I just found this because of the show “Them.” Insane sample.

[@paulnash7630]

I'm 76yrs old now and so lucky to have been young in the best musical era ever of the 60's and possibly early 70's, this Delfonics 1968 classic tune brings back so many memories of 60's all nighters.

[@TheTransitmtl]

I'm 44 now and so lucky to be alive in the most artistically creative era of humanity. Not only can I listen to classical masters, contemporary geniuses, baroque masterminds but also early jazz pioneers, soul music that sometimes warms the soul and sometimes makes it cry. But I also get to listen to the endlessly creative music of today's youth.

1968: They were the seed from which sprouted Philly's massive sounds of the 1970's. Thom Bell went from here to the Stylistics and, later the Spinners, among others. Bought this in 1970 on Philly Groove, distributed by Bell Records, later Arista. Between Thom Bell and Gamble & Huff, wow!
