Best Samples: Father Figure

Back in 1993, P.M. Dawn released a hit single called “Looking Through Patient Eyes” that sampled George Michael’s 1987 hit “Father Figure”. The tune takes George Michael’s melody and adds a dash of poetry to make a clever, simple, striking masterpiece. I recently pulled out the album “The Bliss Album…? (Vibrations of Love and Anger and the Ponderance of Life and Existence)” and enjoyed listening to it from top to bottom. The R&B group was definitely ahead of their time and elegantly sampled George Michael. What do you think of the song?
