Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff on sampling.



Jacked from nodfactor, this is a little snippet of an interview with legendary soul music producers, Gamble & Huff. They masterminded The Philadelphia Sound record label, and produced records for some of the most respected artists of the 70's and early 80's, names such as Teddy Pendergrass, The Spinners, Phyllis Hyman, The Stylistics, and others.

They talk here about their views on hip hop and R&B producers sampling their tracks, and have a positive outlook toward it. Speaking as someone who has chopped up some of their tracks, I'm glad to hear that they welcome artists bringing new vision to their classic ideas.

Guess I should get off my ass and go make a beat...
