Sampled: Rotary Connection - Memory Band

The following song is called 'Memory Band' by Rotary Connection. The song itself is pretty weird, totally crafted for a lazy sixties acid trip. Three great songs (that I know of) have sampled this tune however and for that I gotta give it up to RC. Visionary weirdness.



Both 'Killing Me Softly' by the Fugees and 'Bonita Applebum' by A Tribe Called Quest sample the cool sitar riff from the beginning of the tune. 'Bonita' samples a little of the groove from the start as well.





A much more obscure song that samples 'Memory Band' is 'Life I Live' by the Pete Rock produced group INI. This song samples more extensively, adding some Biggie in there from 'Juicy' for good measure. I love this track.
