Assal Jean has featured on these pages a couple of times
previously and both tracks used samples Webster Lewis' "Emotions" on one and Don Downing's "Dr Boogie" on the other. Therefore, I'm pretty sure this new one "I Don't Wanna Be
With U" does too but haven't figured it out yet.
Curiously, he did a version of Silk's "I Can't Stop" in January, between
"Emotions" and "Dr Boogie", so I wonder if that's where LF System got the idea from? (included
below).
UPDATE: Many thanks to Starpoint Radio's Mike Prior who has put me (and
possibly you) out of my misery and identified the 'sample' as Joe Simon's "I
Don't Wanna Make Love" released as the B side to "Glad You Came My Way" on
Posse in 1980. It appears to be a non-album single only and features those
pesky Sweethearts of Philly, Evette Benton, Barbara Ingram and Carla
Benson, on backing vocals. It did feature on a Joe Simon Ace/Kent compilation "Soul For The Dancefloor" in 2009. The world of soul lost Joe Simon last December (2021).

Whilst "I Don't Wanna Be With U" is reasonably good, "Can't Stop" is diabolically bad. A terrible ruination of the Philadelphia Silk classic
DJs and their negative opinion, ssshhhhhhh, nobody cares.
