Question, Nate

I just ran across an old post of yours, where you EXTENSIVELY researched the song "Get Out Of My Life, Woman", written by Alan Touissant and recorded by about 1000 different artists over the years.

Nate's origial study of this song can be found here:

As an anecdote to your story, the opening drum break of Lee Dorsey's version of the song is one of the most sampled drum breaks in hip-hop history, noticeably in jams like Cypress Hill's "Hits From The Bong" and Fat Joe's "Flow Joe." Lee Dorsey has recently got wise to that distinctive kick and snare being used without clearance (it's easier to get away with drum samples being that it's hard to TRULY determine where they came from) and is getting his lawsuit on, suing DJ Muggs and Diamond D, respective producers of the songs listed above, and others who've sampled him without paying.

A version of "Get Out Of My Life, Woman" was also recorded by Bill Cosby. Coincidentally I was wax shopping a few weeks ago, and picked up the first Iron Butterfly album Heavy, which has...you guessed it.

There's a reason I'm bringing all this up, though. According to your piece, this "Woman" research came from trying to locate the sample from the Pete Nice joint "Outta My Way, Baby." Does this mean that you own the long-out-of-print Pete Nice and Daddy Rich album Dust To Dust? More specifically the song "Rich Bring 'Em Back" which featured the on-wax debut of Cage? (From 1991, no less)

If your answer is by some chance yes, an MP3 of that joint would make a honky's week.
