WHO IS THE MOST SAMPLED ARTIST OF ALL TIME?
I'm thinking it has to be a 3-way tie among James Brown, Sly & The Family Stone and George Clinton.
I'd like to throw in Led Zepplin but I'm not sure if that band has been as heavily sampled as the 3 mentioned above, although they should have been .
Thoughts? I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!
RIP Dick Clark, Whitney Houston, Don Cornelius, Heavy D, and Donna Summer.  | |

James Brown, without a doubt.

The Beatles do not allow their music to be sampled. So no. Covering is not the same thing. |

That's what I thought.
We're talking sampling the music or bits of the vocals but not re-doing the entire song. I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!

I thought it was Amen Brother by The Winstons. Basically the "drum & bass" genre wouldn't exist without it. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Oops! My bad. You're right, the Amen break is up there with Funky Drummer. Then after that, it's "More Bounce".

So would Zapp count even if it's only one song that has been repeatedly sampled? I'm thinking of artists who've had multiple songs sampled. I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!

James Brown and Company (Bobby Byrd, Marva Whitney, JB's, Maceo and the Macks, Lyn Collins, Vicki Anderson, etc.) most of their records from 1969 onwards. | |

Interesting, they ended up on a Beastie Boy sample either way, but this is before sampling laws changed. | |
