This subject came up on the 313 list a few months back, I saved the message that Terrence Parker posted with the answer to this seemingly omnipotent question. So with all credit due to TP, here is his answer:
"The ORIGINAL VERSION of the famous speech "In the beginning there was Jack, and Jack had a groove . . . ." is by ITALO ECSTASY. The track is entitled "MY HOUSE," and was ORIGINALLY released on XYZ RECORDS late in the year 1986. Yes, it was used as a "vocal drop" on top of many instrumental recordings over the years, including Mr. Fingers' "CAN YOU FEEL IT." But don't get it twisted ladies and gentlemen. The Mr. Fingers' version (which was originally a BOOTLEG) is NOT WHERE THIS SPEECH ORIGINATED FROM!"
