My Single Of The Week #3

No competition at all this week...

'Million Dollar Bill' by Whitney Houston



Why do I love this song?

    It's practically disco, isn't it?

    Whitney's voice is amazing.

    The chorus is unbelievably catchy.

    It's just a fun happy song with no hidden agenda.


You can buy the track now at 7digital as a 320 kbs MP3 for $0.99:

I'm thick - it is the same chord progression and bass isn't it? I never realised the Whitney song was an interpolation.

It's definitely a sample. Alicia Keys is no stranger to sampling others work. I still love the song.
