This is based on a 1975 song by the actress and soul singer Camille Yarborough called "Take Yo' Praise." She released just one album, and this was the last track. It was a very obscure song, but Fatboy Slim found it on a compilation CD and sampled it.
Yarborough was a civil rights activist. Her song is about a particular man, but also a message to Black people in general.
Yarborough's vocal is used throughout. She made much more money on royalties from this than she did on her own album.
