Salt-N-Pepa with En Vogue - Whatta Man
1993
"What a Man" is a song written by Dave Crawford, and originally recorded by Linda Lyndell, whose recording reached number 50 on the Billboard R&B chart in 1968. The song was essentially improvised by Lyndell, record producer Dave Crawford, and the Stax studio musicians in Memphis, Tennessee.
In 1993, American hip hop trio Salt-N-Pepa recorded the song retitled "Whatta Man" for Runaway Love, an EP by En Vogue, who is credited as the featured group. Hurby "Luv Bug" Azor wrote the rap lyrics and produced the version, with Cheryl James (Salt) also credited as one of the songwriters. Salt-N-Pepa sampled Lyndell's original recording and remade the song as a rap song.
"Whatta Man" was a major hit for Salt-N-Pepa and En Vogue, peaking at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 7 on the UK Singles Chart and number 6 on the UK Dance Singles Chart. The song was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and the American Music Award for Favorite Soul/R&B Single.
The music video won three MTV Video Music Awards: Best Dance Video, Best R&B Video, and Best Choreography in 1994.
"Whatta Man" received a total of 76,4% yes votes!

Year-End Poll #48: 1997
[Image description: a collage of photos of the 10 musicians and musical groups featured in this poll. In order from left to right, top to bottom: Elton John, Jewel, Puff Daddy and Faith Evans, Toni Braxton, Puff Daddy, R. Kelly, En Vogue, Mark Morrison, LeAnn Rimes, Spice Girls. End description]
More information about this blog here
A lot of loss and longing this year. Elton John and Bernie Taupin rewrote their 1973 single, Candle in the Wind to honor the memory of Princess Diana. Additionally, Puff Daddy's I'll Be Missing You was written in memory of The Notorious B.I.G., using a sample from The Police's Every Breath You Take.
Puff Daddy, and Bad Boy Records in general, would have a lot of influence over the sound of pop rap. Especially when it comes to sampling. The other song by him on this poll, Can't Nobody Hold Me Down, uses a sample from another 80's song, The Message by one of the original pioneering groups in hip-hop, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. The Message is considered to be one of the earlier hip-hop songs to center around social commentary. By 1997, hip-hop was barely older than two decades, but it's artists are still able to call back to and reference the previous generations.
Looking at the bottom of the top 10, we can start to catch a glimpse at the direction pop music is about to go. By the late 90's, more teenagers than ever were purchasing music. While boy bands and girl groups were certainly not invented this decade, their images were starting to shift in order to market more easily to this wider demographic. But the true power of teenagers over the music landscape won't be seen in full until after next year, with the introduction of MTV's Total Request Live.
