i was the first person who responded to you, and i will repeat my response:
there are multiple versions of the track "can you feel it" the speech is from the a cappella version of the track. it's kind of weird to call it an "a cappella version of the track" because it actually has nothing in common with the instrumental version of the track; it's actually more like the b-side of the instrumental "can you feel it." as was stated by someone else on the list, the unmixed vinyl of john acquaviva's "skills" on k7 has the speech. the track originally came out around 87 and was probably on trax. brian ------------------------------------------- Brian J.

It's not the origin of the "Can U Feel It" sample that I'm interested in... rather, I'm interested in the origin of the "speech" that goes something like, "In the beginning there was Jack... and Jack had a groove..." you know the one, it sounds like a black preacher in church on Sunday. Again, I'll say that I was told by someone that it appears on Can U Feel It by Mr. Fingers, but the one version I've heard doesn't contain this (apparently it seems to be an instrumental). So, when did this "speech" first surface and what was it on?
