    "comment": "Manzel released \"Midnight Theme\" as a b-side to \"Sugar Dreams\" in 1979 with Fraternity Records.\n\nManzel was an instrumental funk band from Lexington, Kentucky. Formed in 1973 and disbanded in 1978, Manzell consisted of: Manzel Bush, John Larry Van Dyke and Steve Garner.\n\nThis 1979 7″ just so happened to open with four bars of unaccompanied Garner drumming that made it perfect bait for hip-hop producers starting in the mid-’80s dawn of the sample era. The drums have been sampled nearly 120 times.): https://bit.ly/3pN8FcH",
