Does Mary J.'s Be Happy have a sample?

I'm listening to it and the question popped on my mind

That sample was also used by Ill and Al Scrath feat. Brian McKnight on their song, "I'll take her". Which came out a week after "Be Happy", did.

Of course! I just bought that CD (finally...we'll actually I ordered about a month ago and it finally came) The artist not yet known as P. Diddy is a co-writer and co-producer of every non-cover song...I wonder about that!

I guess it's due to the effect it has on them as well as the millions of people it touched. That is the one CD of hers that I love. The only other one that comes close is this new one. "The Breakthough", seems to be a sequel to "My Life".
