Crystal Waters "Gypsy Woman"

[a Nick O!]

So her debut 1991 hit (which I wasn't aware of at the time; I wasn't aware of Crystal Waters until 1994's "100% Pure Love) came up on shuffle and the track sounded so familiar all of a sudden, like someone had sampled it later. It wasn't coming to me so I looked it up on Wikipedia and there was my answer: "Why You Wanna" by T.I. No s***. I had no idea this whole time.

Just like when I was watching Friday again a week or two ago and had the sudden realization that Jennifer Lopez heavily sampled Rick James' "Mary Jane" for the hit remix of "I'm Real." Apparently it had been at least 7 years since I'd watched Friday or heard "Mary Jane."

I remember this song really well in middle school. I used to enjoy the chorus, "La Da Dee La Da Da." In memory, I seem to lump this song with Suzanne Vega's "Tom Diner." Another clubby song at the time.
