Comment:

Long story short: These are all songs that, to most people, are probably more famous as sources for memorable hip-hop and club anthem samples than actual songs. Not that the songs themselves aren't memorable- far from it. Interestingly, the whole mania for finding obscure, undiscovered and unused samples has partially fueled a resurgence in independent and underground vintage funk and R&B (aka "rare groove"). (Note: Songs that the sample appears in are in brackets.)
