Great sleuthing there K! I never heard that one before.I got the hip hop song that sampled those horns. Not credited on WhoSampled website which is surprising
Of course the master of jazz hip hop fusion Pete Rock would find this sample. Dope!
This is one of my Pete Rock & C. L. Smooth favourites, maybe because of the De La Soul feel??
"The Creator" (1991)

"The Creator" (1991)
I think its safe to say that would receive zero airplay today. What an interesting song.Even more so for The Crystal's "He Hit Me (And It Felt Like A Kiss)" (1962)
Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia regarding the somewhat negative reaction to the song soon after it was first released:
"Upon its initial release, "He Hit Me" received some airplay, but then there was a widespread protest of the song, with many concluding that the song was an endorsement of spousal abuse. Soon, the song was played only rarely on the radio, as now.
The 1930 Frank Borzage film Liliom contains the line "He hit me and it felt like a kiss" in its final scene. The film was not a success and nothing suggests that Goffin or King had seen it. Liliom, originally a play by Hungarian playwright Ferenc Molnár, was the basis for the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical classic, Carousel. While King and Goffin may not have seen Liliom, it is possible that they were familiar with the successful 1956 film version of Carousel, which contains essentially the same line. However, King has stated that their friend who inspired the song had used that exact phrase.
Carole King, in that same radio interview, said that she was sorry she had ever had anything to do with the song. She was a survivor of repeated domestic abuse (but not from Goffin, who had been her husband from 1959 to 1969)."
Nowhere To Run is one of my fav Motown classics.nice one.....Martha started out as a secretary at Motown...Barry Gordy heard her sing and the rest is history
