Generally, sampling means ' I've got no talent to write a song, so I steal 
the hook from a hit record so people will think I'm cool"

 James Brown never made a decent record after "Prisoner of Love" (1962?) and 
even then he screwed up the most important part of the lyric.
I was once told a hilarious incident when James Brown ran into Billy 
Eckstein--who had the Original Hit of Prisoner of Love-- many years ago. I'd 
love to 
pass it on, but it will be in my book, chapter 1, page 837.
