Get Out of My Life Woman - Lee Dorsey
It’s drum break Monday! Not really. I was going to another decomposition but I’m feeling a bit lethargic today and I realized that I need to listen to more music, especially commonly sampled music, before I can break down many of the songs I want to do (wikipedia and whosampled can’t hold my hand on everything). So I’m going to do a series on commonly used drum breaks whenever I have nothing else I would rather be writing about.
Get Out of My Life woman is a bluesy track by a 60s r&b musician called Lee Dorsey. The sample appears at the beginning of the song. It was used in Just a Friend by Biz Markie, Eye Know by De La Soul, Fat for the 90s by Lord Finesse, The Other Side of Town by Master Ace, Flow Joe by Fat Joe, Memory Lane (Sittin’ in da Park) by Nas, New Whirl Odor by Public Enemy, and many many others.
