Daddy Pop bassline same as Rock Steady by Aretha Franklin I have just been listening to 'ROCK STEADY' by Aretha Franklin and am rather shocked at what i've just noticed.
If any1 has this classic track by Aretha Franklin put it on, turn it up loud and listen carefully to the BASSLINE! Hmmm it's exactly the same as DADDY POP. I mean identical!!! Is it a sample in DADDY POP or has it been ripped off? I do not have my D & P booklet to check. ----------

it's not really that identical but it is quite similiar. musicians do it all the time. the riffs to loads of old blues songs have appeared in countless songs. whole lotta love is the same - it keeps popping up in different variations.
if you listen closely to Cream, the riff and bass part sounds like T-Rex's Get It On. nothin' new there. | |

Bass lines and drum beats are hard to claim as original copyrighted art unless directly sampled. | |

I know it happens all the time and if your in2 music seriously u can tell when some1 has been 'influenced by' rather than 'stealing'. The bass part in Cream does not really sound like Get It On it's more of a feel in my opinion. The whole T-REX 'Dirty Sweet' and Prince 'Filthy Cute' references also are a direct link. ----------

It is a direct sample (actually, a loop) of the Aretha joint. James Brown's "Funky Drummer" is also looped on the intro of "Thunder". -SWANGsaysyoubelieveitornot | |

What's your opinion? Was it a rip-off? | |

What's your opinion? Was it a rip-off? Seems like in a different key (no excuse) and faster. A direct rip? listen to the syllables..rock steady..pop daddy. Rock steady..daddy pop. Rock steady words could replace th epop daddy part...hmm interesting  prince!"Climb in my fur." | |

-SWANG'snotthatarticulate Yes. I guess only because I've been listening to Aretha's "Rock Steady" for eons, and can't really tolerate "Daddy Pop" when I listen to the D&P album, therefore maybe I haven't listened to it enough. But like I said, I agree with Milty that it's not identical, but is at least similar. Usually I have a good ear for this stuff, but... I subconsciously block out most of that album.

If you have the outtake, the loop is much more audible (He only looped one bar and the first beat of the next one). But it's kind of buried in the released version. It's not my favorite Prince song, but the fact that he used "Rock Steady" gets him a few bonus points. -SWANGwantstostoptalkingaboutDaddyPopnow | |
