from his debut album "Song Of Innocence" [1968] all the credit goes to EMI, Capitol Records, David Axelrod himself and all the musicians who were playing with him.
All I can say is I have seen/listened to a multitude of contemporary artists who where soul-heartedly influenced by Dave Axelrod, and these artists range in all genres over the last 50 years. (im 32) I didn't know who this guy was until I heard samples of his music within other younger artists' samples. He paved some of my appreciation of modern music. For that reason alone... I salute him.
@@annable883 whoh Kevin!. 7 years ago I posted this my dude. I get ya tho! You have caught me at an introspective, so TLDR. But all...and I mean ALL music in my opinion is rehashed and sampled. Very rarely is a new rhythm or aureal melody not copied from another. in any time. We have been musical since we walked upright. It's literally a longer time than any of us can even contemplate within our megre 75+ years (if you are lucky) on this rock. Nobody has ownership of hearing or what we deem to be music really. It is a natural given gift being able to experience any of it and talk of it. I kinda love music for that....even perceived bad music. But I get what you say of straight up sniping of ideas and viably wealth....it is not new though. If anything it is good....since it propagates the same strong sentiments as when it was first conceived? For the next generations to rehash and make their comparables to. Certain music/styles/artists transcend time and still stay relevant. I mean...what we term "classical music" now is perceived to be all Piano concertos, cellos, violins and wind instruments.....In around 75-100 years time....Dubstep might be considered a classical music for a certain group of people. Seems unlikely... but it still could be? ...Maybe Dubstep is possibly a bad example. ;)
Sampling is stealing intellectual copy wright, because those who do this VILE sampling just want to rip off the original composers. Sampling the province of liars.
Internal talk from a hypothetical first time listener (I've listened to this like a million times): 0:00 - 1:20-- okay, not bad. Nice drum work. But hmm...not sure about this one. kinda meh on the strings... 1:21 - 1:44 --that was interesting. Maybe I'm open to this 1:45 - 1:56 - sweet change up. Let's see where this guy is going. 1:57 - 2:30-- damn. Damn. This is so tough. 2:31 - 2:40--this might be the best bassline of all time. 2:41 - 3:06--holy shit this is so good 3:07 - 3:25--Nice. I need this breather. The last minute was intense. 3:25 - 3:43 classy arrangement. I think I know where he's going. I approve. 3:44 - 3:53 Got damn I wasnt expecting that. What a change! 3:54 -- 4:00 --*air drumming* *drum face* 4:01 - Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Where did those horns come from? Sweet jesus those horns. I'm alive. I'm alive. I'm alive….
+Theo Baker You really haven't heard a lot of bass lines, if the one on this joint exceeded some golden standard for you. That is pretty stale stuff, when you think about the wealth of jazz/r'nb/disco/boogie joints out there. Listen to more music mate.
great transissions and gets funky. . you must listen to the whole song. the beginning made me skip it the first time. but i gave it another listen and my heart gets pumping. mad.....
@@QuickestQuickChop Madlib brought me to Axelrod, but not particularly to this tune, sorry. I suppose you know Holy are you by Axelrod, that one is sampled by Madlib...
Man, why the need to be so harsh? This crosses over several different genres. You could say jazz, a precursor to hip-hop, funk, pop, etc. are involved.
I'm guessing Earl Palmer who is credited with the following quote which makes him a legend either way...."I've been asked if people could borrow my drums because they like their sound. What the hell, they think the drums play themselves? I said, 'You really want 'em? Really? Okay. Cost you triple scale and cartage.'"
Such an amazing instrumental album.
I absolutely love it.
Luv and Peace.
sweet beautiful music

Samples don't you mean ripping off and copying music, and stealing the rights of the composer.

this song is just ridiculously and undeniably dope. hip hop from the 1960's. KILLING IT DAVID AXELROD! KILLING IT!
Absolutely a mega masterpiece.
Bought this album after listening to this track on the legendary John peel“perfumed garden”radio show.

@@Robbarleyfymadlib sampled this specific track on Lootpack - B-Boy Theme (Instrumental) in 1999
If only Apple had downloaded this to everybody's iTunes library.
eso recordaría a les que escuchar al maestro Isaac Hayes, descanse por favor en la paz. muchas gracias y saludos desde Tokio.
No sh*t! Sorry 4 years late, but you are right. Now we're all stuck with that U2 album. _bleh_
Yeah, fuck U2
It’s on Apple Music now.
@@nolem5417 😂 you didn’t get the joke 😎
1968 music the year I was born.....the year of Bullit & Steve McQueen...wow...real class here !!!!!
The Door is Open
Yep that's Carol Kaye. She was on this, and a couple of his other albums.
Masterpiece.
I’m here because of Wu-TANG😊
Had to pause the show too look
This up 👐🏽😳✅
Song?
Such a great piece of work
If Carol Kaye was British, she'd be a Dame. What a fantastic player.
Bits of this were used on an Electric Prunes record Axelrod produced. Not sure which came first.
This is far better.
LUv and Peace.
hip hop from the 60s..... exactly my perspective on music like this
RABBITS. The Door Is Open.
Almost commented the same thing.
Ditto
I'm among my people.

Exploration into a new universe!
Nice ride, especially when you hhave something good to smoke with it
Just great. What can we say more?

I just love it.
Dope.

My name is David Axelrod. No, really.
I believe you! What a great track you produced!
@@EasySounds he isn't the david axelrod, he just happens to be named david axelrod
That's the joke.
who plays the drums?

What the hell, they think the drums play themselves? I said, 'You really want 'em? Really? Okay. Cost you triple scale and cartage.'"
LCD Soundsystem -- Losing My Edge . . . . . . brought me here ayy lmao
Why is the drum only on my right ear?
John Smith back then a lot of music was recorded this way.
@@davidalchujian7759not recorded, mixed
LOL this was sampled by Bink! for Jay-z "stick 2 the script" of the dynasty
