Take Yo’ Praise

‘Take Yo’ Praise’ is a 1975 song by Camille Yarbrough of her The Iron Pot Cooker album which was sampled in 1998 by Fatboy Slim.

I’ve just heard the original for the first time on French online radio station Radio Nova and it’s sublimely life and love affirming.

I have to praise you when you hold me
when you work your way around
ain’t a part of me left over
that your sweet love ain’t found
you make my (my) moan turn to whisper
you make my whisper turn to call
you make me scream
and scream that I love you
when you (when you) make me rise and fall

The track is available on Nova Classics series, volume 6
