House Anthem - Spoken

**marmite7** · March 11th, 2007, 01:11 AM

Anyone know this late 80's House classic, which features a male voice, speaking rather than singing about the "birth of House music". The speech almost has the same feel about it as Martin Luther King's speech which has also been lifted and used in a House tune.

He mentions (I think) "in the beginning", God & House Music.

A bit vague I know - but anyone help?

I'm not 100% on this one but could it be 'Open Your Eyes' by Marshall Jefferson ?.

This is the only one i can think of that is spoken word all the way through.

Rhythm Control - My House is where the vocal comes from, but you might be thinking of Fingers Inc - Can U Feel It which samples the acapella liberally.

Thanks for the input guys.

I haven't been able to check out any suggestions so far, due to not having access to a download / music share site?

Any clues as to where to go? (And please don't say Limewire!!!) That was I who used to use, but it seems to have gone pearshaped, ripping off people left right n centre - grrrrr

cheers

OMG - Fingers Inc is the track!

I've got a version of it, (and have had for years), but without the spoken words!!!!!

Now I need to identify the correct vinyl to buy :icon_confused:
