*Actually*, the "woo, yeah"..".woo,yeah" is none other than the most
sampled man alive:
James Brown.
This is taken from a song from, I believe 1973, with James, his crew (I
believe at the time, The JBs)
and guest female vocalist, Lyn (with on" n " ) Collins. The " woo yeah "
is from a break when James says:
"woo, yeah" and then Lyn sings..."it takes two to make a thing go
right"...which is the inspiration for the Rob Base
song which then appropriates the vocal line and then samples James vocal break.
This is pitched +6, I believe. The track is called "Think". The original
LP is mega rare and the re-issues are
somewhat common.
*and* the majority of work recorded by Bessie Smith was done well before
the 60s.
Her heyday was the late 30s through the 50s.
