[quote name='Whitehouse' timestamp='1326847184' post='168167'] [quote name='The Unknown Man' timestamp='1326779772' post='168136'] Pop and funk musician Jimmy Castor, who was known for his 1972 hit "Troglodyte (Cave Man)", [url="http://www.noise11.com/news/funk-icon-jimmy-castor-dies-at-64-20120117"]is gone at age 64[/url]. [/quote] A lot of you might not know who he is and what music he made. Including me for a time. But his music had something in common with the godfather of soul himself, James Brown: His music was sampled to death. If you don't recognize anything in these tracks, you might as well be tone-deaf. I'm sure there are a lot of samples you recognize from Troglodyte. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlRXQEA0yj0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlRXQEA0yj0[/url] Also, It's just begun was also a massive source of samples. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5ANvrxdTjw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5ANvrxdTjw[/url] Most notable tracks that used his music were: Beat dis - Bomb the bass Pump Up the Volume - M|A|R|R|S Weekend - The Todd Terry Project Big hits that had a funk foundation from the Jimmy Castor Bunch. But you'll really get a sense of his influence when you see the full list of tracks that used his music.

Insert Zep, Stones and The Who in the 'legendary' stakes as well, before you get to The Doors... IMO.

Very sad about this, the Doors are my all-time favourite band.

Cannot even comfort myself with points as this seems to have gone right under the radar.
