About

Power Jam was the first name under which German producers Michael Münzing (Benito Benites) and Luca Anzilotti (John Virgo Garrett III) were noticed for their 1990 Hit "The Power".
The first version of "The Power" was an amalgamate of samples. The beats were taken from Mantronix's "King Of The Beats" (B Side Track from their 1988 Maxi "Join Me Please... (Home Boys - Make Some Noise)"), the vocals were taken from "Let The Words Flow" by rapper Chill Rob G and from "Love's Gonna Get You" by Jocelyn Brown.
The record became instantly popular in both Europe and North America. But the samples were all unauthorized. In Germany, Arista Records had a deal with Stu Fine, former owner of Arista, but they didn’t have a deal for the US. Chill Rob G consented to a US release (which he thought could be lucrative). But Arista Records wanted to release it there too.
Since Arista couldn't release the same single, they decided to re-record the whole track with new lyrics by rapper Durron Butler AKA Turbo B. and additional vocals by Penny Ford. The samples were then all legally cleared and the song finally re-released under the new name Snap!.
