oh vienna?
 

on listening to the number one record by mario winans a few times it sounds to me like he has nicked the electronic drum beat from ultravox and i am half expecting him to shout out "this means nothing to me" and i am wondering if hes paid midge ure royaltys.........hehe

With the ammount of musical sampling going on you are hard pushed to find a song these days that doesn't sound like one that was released previously. Haven't listened to the radio much lately so can't say to be honest so I shall err on the side of caution ;)

Well my daughter thought he had sampled it from the Fugees - she didn't believe me when I told her I thought they had both nicked it from Enya :confused:

Not so much sampled, as used the entire backing track ;)

It seems to be the norm these days. Find a decent song that everyone knows, sample the track and then make a fortune in record sales. The advantage is that you don't require alot of talent to do this, Puff Daddy has made millions doing exactly that along with alot of so-called American rap & hip hop musicians.
