Rewind: Del 'I Wish My Brother George Was Here' (Part 2)

Welcome to part 2 of this blog's look at 'I Wish My Brother George Was Here' by Del tha Funkee Homosapien.

On the album track 'Money for Sex', Del's production team uses bits of the James Brown produced 1969 Marva Whitney cut 'It's My Thing' (an answer record to the Isley Brothers' 'It's Your Thing') and Donald Byrd's heavily sampled 'Street Lady' from his 1973 album 'Street Lady'. 'Ahonetwo, Ahonetwo' credits Eddie Harris as a co-writer for the sample from his track 'It's Crazy' from 1968's 'Plug Me In'. It would be impossible to go without mentioning Parliament in any post about this album, the single 'Dr. Bombay' (my personal pick from this album) samples Parliament's 'Rumpofsteelskin' from their album 'Motor Booty Affair'.
