Biography

27-second sample of "Think (About It)" by Lyn Collins.
Written by James Brown.
Source: Hip Hop Roots, Tommy Boy Communications, 2005, a collection featuring this single song, licensed from and copyrighted to Polydor, 1972

This excerpt serves to illustrate the Lyn Collins single "Think (About It)" and the origin of the popular sample Woo! Yeah!.

Fair use rationale This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion in the articles "Woo! Yeah!" and "Think (About It)" is claimed as fair use because:

• it illustrates educational articles that specifically discuss the song from which this sample was taken
• it is a sample of 27 seconds from a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording; and
• it is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.
• it is believed that this sample will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original recording.

I believe that this use of the excerpt is in good faith, and that its inclusion enhances rather than reduces the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn.
