**She-Rockers Jams, Professor Griff Samples, Carly Simon Just Stands There**

English Hip-Hop duo She-Rockers made a string of 12'' singles for Jive records & Music of Life label in the early 90's. One of their bigger songs (Give It A Rest) was produced by Public Enemy's former lead S1W & controversial figure Professor Griff.
The thing about this song is that he jacked Carly Simon's early 80's hit "Why" which at the time was remixed by Chic band members & writers Bernard Edwards & Nile Rodgers. It eventually became a Paradise Garage classic after Larry Levan started throwing the remix as a part of his dj sets..
