100 percent pure poison
Coming Right at You (1974) by 100% Pure Poison

Youtube: 100% Pure Poison’s “Windy C”, St. Germain’s “Sure Thing” and, “Get Involved by Pete Rock

If a musical composition’s popularity and quality can be measured from the number of times it’s been sampled, “Windy C” has fine credentials.

Windy C is a musical composition from the 1974 “Coming Right at You” album by 100% Pure Poison. “Windy C” was sampled for Pete Rock‘s “Get Involved” and St. Germain‘s Sure Thing.

Continuing the musical connections:

Sure Thing is a musical composition by Ludovic Navarre published on Tourist, featuring samples from “Windy C” and the soundtrack of Dennis Hopper‘s film The Hot Spot (John Lee Hooker, Miles Davis and Taj Mahal).

Let me give that video (not sure if original or some Youtube bricolage, stylish nevertheless):
