DJ's Delight pt. 2

Recycling melodies and rhythms has been going on forever, but blatantly taking someone’s record and singing on top of that is something you might think just happens in hiphop and reggae. And that’s exactly what my man Harold Gill did to Rene & Angela offshoot Plush back in 1983: he took their “Free And Easy” instrumental, rewrote the song and released “I Can Make You Party” on his own Sure Hit label.
I ain’t mad, as both songs are incredible.

Plush: Free And Easy
Harold Gill: I Can Make You Party
EDIT: a new Plush file linked, the first one had some glitches towards the end.
