Song of the 2 Days vol. 5

If you happen to know Will Smith's "Getting Jiggy With It" - then you'll definitely recognise this 70's hit. Apparently, Smith sampled this big chunk of the song and based his rap song on it. He did it justice, I like Will Smith's song but the original is just so hauntingly good!

Click to download "Sister Sledge - He's the Greatest Dancer"

The song is pure breed of Disco mash up with R&B, Sister Sledge are really famous for that album of their which includes title smash hit "We Are Family". Will Smith apparently have something for sampling R&B ladies of the past as he did so with Patrice Rushen's "Forget Me Nots" and his "Men In Black" song. Anyway, download the song, keep moving your hips and swing your shoulders from side to side on that trumpet-bass fueled hit!
