FAV45: (You) Got What I Need (BlackCash & Theo Edit) by Freddie Scott b/w Getting Nasty (BlackCash & Theo Edit) by Ike Turner & The Kings Of Rhythm
CAT: GSC45006
LABEL: Galaxy Sound Company
I always enjoy dropping this one in my sets, watching and watching the crowd who always wait for the late, great Biz Markie to kick it off right, only to have to wait and breathe in the killer breaks lovingly stretched out by Black Cash & Theo. Once Freddie Scott rightly takes over, it’s like a reclamation that the crowd joyously gets down to.
Originally released back in 1968, Freddie Scott's "(You) Got What I Need" is a soul staple that went on to be sampled by late '80s rapper and beat box maestro Biz Markie on his breakout track "Just A Friend." Scott's track came some five years into a successful singing career & featured production from celebrated duo #KennyGamble & #LeonHuff.
On the flip, it's paired up on this fav45 with another track that was later popularized in hip-hop, Ike Turner & The Rhythm King's "Get Nasty". Another solid edit that makes the crowd fondly remember how Jurassic 5 sampled this track for "Concrete Schoolyard.”
Bravo Galaxy Sound Company.
