    Default Isaac Hayes and David Porter "break" query

    I'm on strike today and to pass the time away I was earlier fishing out unplayed b-sides of old soul records. Anyway, the introduction to Isaac Hayes and David Porter's version of Bread's "Baby I'm a Want You" on Enterprise just sounds so familiar. I'm sure its been sampled (or whatever it's called) as the basis for some really familiar hit. Just can't put me finger on it though, can anyone help?

    No idea but I've been on strike today too - excellent opportunity to catch up on just a few more tunes and fight the system at the same time!

    I've been on strike to but I can't help you with your query. I checked thebreaks.com but can't see a mention of that particular track.

    Brothers! Industrial relations, comrade. Negotiations. Free collective bargaining and all the rest of it.

    Maybe "Baby I'm a Want You" was all about wanting an end to the anti-labour movement policies of Heath and Thatcher?

    Oh okay, maybe not.....

    Looks like the track has been sampled but thebreaks.com only lists the Fatback version:

    Fatback (Band, The)
    Let's Do it Again: (Perception 1972)
    * “Baby I'm-A Want You”
    Mos Def’s “Mathematics”
