    "comment": "Out to David in Reno!\n\nThe band's 1975 album 'Malik' prominently featured the Univox Super-Fuzz and liberal usage of the talk box. This album was equally influential in decades to come, with a sample of the song \"Darkest Light\" being featured prominently in Public Enemy's \"Show 'Em Whatcha Got\". The original saxophone solo on \"Darkest Light\" was played by Leroy Gomez, who later became popular as the lead singer of the disco group Santa Esmeralda. After Public Enemy's usage of the song was highly praised, samples of \"Darkest Light\" appeared in several more notable rap and R&B songs, including \"Back to the Hotel\" by N2Deep,  the 1992 single \"Rump Shaker\" by Wreckx-n-Effect, and the 2006 single \"Show Me What You Got\" by Jay-Z.",
