SWV On Michael Jackson Clearing The Sample ‘Human Nature:’ ‘We Were One Of The First Artists Who He Allowed To Use His Sample’

In fact, the “King of Pop” was so infatuated with what the ladies brought to the table that he cleared one of his hit tracks for them to sample — for free.

That’s right, his 1982 hit, “Human Nature,” became SWV’s “Right Here.” It was the group’s debut single on their first album, “It’s About Time,” but the track didn’t really receive recognition until the following year.
