David asks:
<< And what about The Beatles? Isn't there anything in their canon that
could be termed sampling? >>
If sampling means sounding like another act, then "Back in the USSR" has that
Beach Boys-sounding part. But I always thought that sampling meant actually
using the original recording within a new work. And in the case of "The Beat
of Black Wings," that's Joni singing "Johnny/Charlie Angel" -- it's not
Shelley Fabres' original recording being played -- so I wouldn't call it
sampling.
So my question is . . . what's the real definition of sampling?
