We had a debate here a while ago about the Baddest Horn sections---Fred n' Maceo (with JB and P-Funk), The Phoenix Horns (EWF), Chicago,etc...For me, T.O.P. certainly had the fullest sound...and Doc with the Baritone sax just kills me!! ...

Didn't Prince sample/steal the drum pattern from "Squib Cakes" for a song or two? | |

Not sure if he sampled it, but the loop that he and Morris used for Release It is definitely Squib Cakes (whether it's recreated or sampled). | |

Haven't listened to Release It in quite some time but I seem to remember the sound and inflections in the drum track were way too close for a recreation.

I remember Prince mentions Tower of Power's "Sqib Cakes" by name in the unreleased tune, "Schoolyard"... .. " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |
