Lulu & Bobby Womack [1993] - I'm Back For More [DOME #1002]

Mentioning Lulu in the previous post reminded me of her 'new jack swing' version of the 1980 Al Johnson & Jena Carn modern soul classic 'I'm Back For More' recorded in 1993 with soul legend Bobby Womack.  

The original version was recorded by Leo's Sunshipp on their sought after album 'We Need Each Other' in 1978 - it was written by band member Kenny Stovar.  

Marlena Shaw also recorded  a version on her 'Acting Up' album in 1978.

Tavares released it on their 'Madame Butterfly' album in 1978

Quite a few hip-hop artists have sampled the track:

Red Hot Lover Tone - BMW from #1 Player 1995

Will Smith - Just Cruisin'  single from1997

Faith Evans - Sunny Days from 'Keep The Faith' 1998

113 - Jack-Potes  EP 1998

Johnson & Jonson - Wow from Johnson & Jonson 2008

Oddisee - Wow from Oddisee West Coast Beats - Hosted by Trek Life 2010

Fiend & Cookin' Soul Feat. Curren$y's - Champagne from Iron Chef 2012

Action Bronson - The Choreographer from Blue Chips 7000 2017
