Music Monday: Ain’t No Love in the Heart of the City

This song has come a long way…

The orginal song first recorded in 1974 by the R&B Band Bobby Blue Band.

In 1978 a hardrock band by the name of Whitesnake did a cover.

In 2001 Jay-Z’s sampled the orginal sound and did a song called In The City (Ain’t No Love).

Here is the instrumental version with you just the singin’ on it – super calm and relaxing. Enjoy.

If you wanna read up on some more cover version -head on over to wikipedia.
