Digital Underground sampled Jimi Hendrix’s “Who Knows”. 

DU used the baseline and portions of the melody in their song “The Way We Swing”. Actually, Hendrix's voice is sampled in the first version of the song. You see, there are two versions of the DU song. I've always loved DU because they used a lot of tracks from the 70s.

I am not a huge fan of Hendrix, but damn this song is amazing.  It clearly is a blues song more so than rock. 

Here's DU's song using “Who Knows”
