#### Importance and impact of Frank Dukes' contributions to music production

Dukes' ability to blend genres, experiment with sounds, and create unique sonic landscapes has made him a sought-after producer. His influence extends beyond producing, as he is also known for his songwriting skills.

#### Frank Dukes' approach to music production (interview quote)
 
“For the [early Kingsway Music Library releases](https://www.tracklib.com/blog/original-compositions-frank-dukes-kingsway), I was really trying to sound like old records I would like to sample myself,” Frank Dukes told Tracklib. “That was really an experiment. As the volumes progress, you can hear that they evolve past that. They sort of become more ‘modern,’ I guess. My sensibilities evolved. For the later editions, I was writing ideas, rather than making samples.” 
 
#### Clearing samples from Frank Dukes' collection for legal use

When using samples from Frank Dukes' collection, it's essential to navigate potential clearance issues. [Clearing samples](https://www.tracklib.com/blog/music-clearance) involves obtaining the necessary permissions and licenses to use copyrighted material legally. Failing to clear samples can result in legal repercussions, including songwriter credit demands, or additional producer credit disputes. 
 
#### Creative Possibilities
Frank Dukes' samples open up a world of creative possibilities. Whether you're producing hip-hop, R&B, pop, or electronic music, his diverse selection based on his own boutique sample library offers ample material to experiment with. You can chop, loop, manipulate, and combine these samples as you see fit to create entirely new compositions. Just like top producers including [Hit-Boy](https://www.tracklib.com/music/collections/322097), Jake One, Illmind, and Cardiak have done before, sampling from the Kingsway Music Library. Speaking of Hit-Boy, did you know [a Tracklib sample](https://www.tracklib.com/blog/hottest-flips-soulchops-funkylibrary-africanhighlife-boyschoir) was used on “WTF SMH” by Nas, with a co-producer credit for Jansport J?

Modern music would be unrecognizable without the contributions of iconic soul and funk artists from the 60s and 70s. Any hip-hop fan will understand that these two genres are not just remarkable in their own right but form the foundations of hip-hop culture. 
 
#### 60s/70s Soul & Funk Samples
This era of music—renowned for producing the likes of Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Harold Melvin, Barry White, and many more—has served as a vital touchstone for hip-hop producers. 
Before going any further it’s worth delving into the origins of classic soul. [Soul music](https://www.tracklib.com/music/genres/rnb-soul) emerged in the late 50s and early 60s from a merger of gospel music, rock-n-roll, and rhythm and blues. Artists like [Ray Charles](https://www.tracklib.com/music/artists/ray-charles), Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke are considered some of the earliest soul stars. By the mid-60s, labels like Motown Records and Stax Records were household names. 
[Funk](https://www.tracklib.com/music/genres/funk)—notorious for its groovy basslines and punchy drum breaks—appears slightly later. In the mid-1960s, artists like James Brown pioneered a new form of music focused primarily on rhythm and groove rather than melody. Indeed, if soul music is notorious for its beautiful vocal melodies, funk is its danceable counterpart. It’s for this reason that many hip-hop producers sampled drum loops from funk records and melodies from soul records. 
 
#### 60s/70s Soul & Funk in Hip-Hop
Hip-hop fans won’t have to look too hard to find some classic instances of soul and funk sampling. Iconic producers like [J Dilla](https://www.tracklib.com/blog/jdilla-nujabes-sampling-howto-beats), [9th Wonder](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na8YD63Juck), and many more are known for their sampling of both obscure and well-known soul and funk. Elsewhere, some of hip-hop’s biggest hits have sampled 60s/70s soul. 
 Take for instance Ayatollah’s iconic sample of Aretha Franklin on Mos Def’s “Ms. Fat Booty” or Ice Cube’s use of The Isley Brothers on “It Was a Good Day.” More recently, check out Kanye West and Jay Z’s sampling of Otis Redding on “Otis” or Kendrick Lamar’s generous sampling of [Marvin Gaye on “The Heart Pt. 5”](https://www.tracklib.com/blog/all-samples-kendricklamar-mrmorale-bigsteppers-breakdown).
