Bravo's "Top Chef" Intro Song

Someone please take a serious listen to the "Top Chef" intro song and tell me what you hear.

What I hear about halfway thru is Tevin Campbell's very first notes (the gospel-like "scream") of Round And Round.

I'm wondering if WB licensed that song to be sampled, or I'm wondering if Prince himself used a "stock" recording that anyone would have access too.

Se7en, you are exactly correct it does sound like Tevin Campbell's Round and Round notes! nod I've watched every episode of Top Chef and I noticed that right away. I brought up the same idea back on the NPGMC,only one person said they watched the show. The song must be able to be licensed or I think the Prince powers that be would have done something about it by now.

if its a sample over 8 bars it has to be paid for, but its just a "stab" so nothing canbe done from a legal standpoint

I'm so glad that others have heard it! Great song, great TV show too IMO.
