Chinny Reckon Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 'I say it bitch' by Loleatta Holloway doesn't exist. There's a mislabelled video of some remix on YouTube, there's a couple of things on Soundcloud, but they all use the acapella Ellis D- My Loleatta, (Dishapella). (Produced by Junior Vasquez). There's nothing on Discogs called 'I say it bitch' by Loleatta Holloway. I haven't listened to the DCB-A track because I can't find it, but I'm assuming that uses the same source. The root source is a rare Holloway live performance, but everyone sampled the acapella from the Ellis D release. I'm sure there's an entry already on this forum for it as well.Lacking the kind of monster hits that someone like Gloria Gaynor could convert into a celebrity appearance career, Holloway slipped out of the musical zeitgeist until Junior Vasquez’s “My Loleatta.” The track laid a recording of a rare Holloway live performance at Better Days over funkified electronic beats, sampled effects and keyboard lines. Vasquez reproduced resident DJ Bruce Forest’s deployment of the original tape, which he laid over house tracks and disco instrumentals such as MFSB’s “Love Is the Message.”“The speaking part was in sections and lasted about 40 minutes in total,” Forest recalled in 1998. “The crowd went nuts for it and it became my trademark.” Vasquez got hold of the vocal track via Shep Pettibone after the remixer helped himself to the tape against the resident DJ’s instructions, because he had promised Holloway he would never give it out. “He gave this copy to Junior Vasquez, who promptly took my idea, laid the vocal over a house track and made a record called ‘My Loleatta,'” added Forest. “It was a mild success and he made a few more. He also actually put the a cappella on a 12″ and sold it. I was furious, and so was Loleatta.”http://www.electronicbeats.net/how-loleatta-holloway-became-discos-most-sampled-artist/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinny Reckon Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Yeah, the video on YouTube 'I say it bitch' is just some track someone's made with the Ellis D acapella, which they've then titled as such. There is no original version of 'I say it bitch'. Ellis D- My Loleatta (Dishapella) at 1:47 'I say a bitch'.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RHqPOJykEQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
