Fugees - Fu-Gee-La 1995

The Fugees were an American hip hop trio formed in 1990 in South Orange, New Jersey. Deriving its name from a shortening of the word "refugees", the group consisted of Wyclef Jean, Pras Michel, and Lauryn Hill. The group rose to prominence in the mid-1990s for their pioneering blend of reggae, R&B, funk and hip hop.

"Fu-Gee-La" was released on December 13, 1995 as the lead single from their second and final album, The Score (1996). Produced by Salaam Remi, it contains samples of "If Loving You Is Wrong (I Don't Want to Be Right)" by Ramsey Lewis and "Shakiyla (JRH)" by the Poor Righteous Teachers, while its chorus contains an interpolation of "Ooo La La La" by Teena Marie. The song peaked at number 29 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and reached number one on the Billboard Dance chart, and has been certified platinum by the RIAA. The Weeknd sampled it on the song "Sidewalks", and Jay-Z sampled it on his song "Moonlight". Trey Songz also interpolates the song on his single "Na Na".

The Score won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, along with Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for their other single "Killing Me Softly". The Score has garnered a considerable amount of acclaim over the years, with many music critics and publications noting it as one of the greatest albums of the 1990s, as well as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. It was included on the list of 200 Definitive Albums in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and was ranked number 134 on Rolling Stone's revised list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time" in 2020. As of February 2021, The Score has been certified seven times platinum by the RIAA. With an estimated 22 million copies sold worldwide, it has become one of the best-selling albums of all time. As of June 2021, it was the fifth-most streamed 1990s hip hop album on Spotify.

"Fu-Gee-La" received a total of 66,2% yes votes! Previous polls with Wyclef Jean: #36 "Gone Till November".

Song of the Day - “Love For Sale”

Today marks the 65th anniversary of the recording of this album, “An Hour With The Ramsey Lewis Trio”, April 22nd, 1959, at the Ter-Mar Studio in Chicago.

Not sure whose idea the album title was, since both the recording session and the resulting album are both longer than an hour…

But what sublime music…

The trio was Ramsey on piano, with El Dee Young on bass, and Red Holt on drums.

This version of “Love For Sale”, the Cole Porter classic, is an irresistible swing-y one… at 10:02...
