# Xampled: Kleptones vs Queen

"Another One Bites the Dust", "Bicycle Race", "Don't Stop Me Now", "Fight from the Inside", "Flash", "I Want to Break Free", "I'm Going Slightly Mad", "It's A Kind of Magic", "Keep Yourself Alive", "Machines (Back to Human)", "More Of That Jazz", "One Vision", "Play the Game", "Procession", "Radio Gaga", "Save Me", "Seven Seas of Rhya", "Spread Your Wings", "Tenement Funster", "Under Pressure (feat David Bowie)", "We Will Rock You", "Who Wants to Live Forever?"

The Kleptones' A Night at the Hip-Hopera is one of the the best mashup remixes I've ever heard, a fluid blend of classic and modern hip hop with Queen's epic catalog. (...)

As far as I can tell, nobody has listed the sample origins online yet. I don't have the time to locate the short samples, but here are most of the primary sources.

# Xampled: Donna Summer

The only superstar performer disco ever produced, Summer has a good voice and substantial songwriting talent, but her great gift is acting: she projected a hedonistic sexual image so effectively she became the poster child for 70's excess. Born in Boston, Donna Summer moved to Germany and appeared in musicals including Hair and Godspell. After running into producers Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellote, the 17-minute heavy breather "Love To Love You Baby" brought Summer to international prominence, and she was crowned the Queen of Disco. 1977's I Remember Yesterday produced the most forward-looking single in Summer and Moroder's catalog, the monumental "I Feel Love." Eschewing the strings and typical disco excess, it laid the groundwork not only for countless Euro-dance imitators, but also for the techno revolution of the '80s and '90s. Summer ended her collaboration with Moroder and Bellotte and teamed up with Quincy Jones for 1982's Donna Summer. With producer Michael Omartian, Summer moved back into post-disco dance music and urban R&B with 1983's She Works Hard for the Money; its title track was a smash and became a feminist anthem of sorts.(DBW/MSN)

# Xampled: Rick James

In the late '70s, when Motown was not doing so well, Rick James came along and rescued the company. "You and I" and "Mary Jane", both on James' debut album, Come and Get It! (Jun 1978) were huge pop hits. After the less succesfull Bustin' Out of L Seven , James returned to form with the number one R&B hit "Give It to Me Baby", featured on the million-selling Street Songs (Apr 1981), which also featured the hit "Super Freak".
James' follow-up to Street Songs was Throwin' Down (May 1982), which featured the hit "Dance Wit' Me". The title song of Cold Blooded (Aug 1983) became James' third R&B number one, and the album also featured his hit duet with Smokey Robinson, "Ebony Eyes". James' greatest hits album Reflections (Aug 1984) featured the new track "17", which also became a hit. Glow (Apr 1985) contained Top Ten R&B singles in the title track and "Can't Stop".
Rick James died in Aug 2004 at the age of 56.
