Aretha Franklin- Tiny Sparrow

I feel like this has to have been sampled in a rap song all sped up like. It’s perfect and has that inspirational theme that Kanye and Jigga love to drop on their more serious tracks. Also the fact that she is 23 here is pretty mind-blowing.

I Can’t Wait - 1965

Also can you believe the beat on this track? The groove is fantastic and in the very beginning tricks you into thinking it’s from way later than it actually is. Sexy, deep house black beat. Has this been sampled? By like Beyonce or Eve or something?
