Nelly/Jaheim My Place question

Does anyone know if the piano in "My Place" by Nelly and Jaheim is sampled from another artist or original/new music? It sounds kind of familiar, but I searched for this information on google and found nothing.

from MusicZone

My Place," a lush groove featuring ghetto fabulous thug crooner Jaheim serves as the long player's first single. Produced by Doe of Nelly's in-house Mo' Beats production troupe, "My Place" incorporates vocal and musical interpolations of Teddy Pendergrass' "Come Go With Me," DeBarge's "I Like It" and LaBelle's "Isn't It A Shame" to create a wholly original sound. The artists don't just sample here, they strip the source material to ribbons, turning "My Place" into a bow of sublime revisionist revelry. "I used to pride myself on being the other man/ But now it's flipped and I don't want you with no other man," raps Nelly as he begins to explore the possibilities of truly trading his player sweats for the suit of relationship responsibilities.

I don't care for Nelly, but that piano that he samples in the song is beautiful.
