Thanks you so much AHS, obviously I have Googled it in the past but was never able to find any references beyond 8d and Tracey Chapman. I had thought it might be Annie Lennox but clearly I was wrong.

Thanks again and don't worry about the spoiler, we've all been there:-)

Okay, I've just listened to that song by Mahalia Jackson and I have to say, I'm not convinced. This prompted me to retry Google, this time using AI, and it attributes it to "a snippet from an opera performance by Joan Sutherland.

It would appear that the internet is as clueless as I am!

Really? 00:15 into the Mahalia song, then 00:34 into the Vini Reilly track, sounds pretty identical to me?

Yes, on listening again I think you're right. Thanks again.

No worries Brendan, it’s always slightly disorienting hearing a sound you’ve heard a hundred times in one context in another. Whosampled.com is a great timewaster.

It was great. I don’t think I had heard it before but I love the way he plays.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. The guitarist, Vini Reilly, was the very first artist signed to Factory Records.

Better stop this before we get told off:-)
