Love that one.  What alot of people don't know is that it doesn't actually sample Steve's vocals.  Prydz wanted to use the sample, and when he presented it to Winwood, he liked it so much that he chose to re-record his vocals

Simply Red - Sunrise (2003)
This sampled the 1981 hit I Can't Go For That (No Can Do) by Hall and Oates.  Being both a fan of Simply Red and H&O growing up, this was just so fantastic!  This one would definately be in my Top 20 samples of 80s songs!

One of my personal faves is Rihanna's sampling of Softcell's "Tainted Love" (1981) for her 2006 hit "SOS". I got hooked on it quickly when it came out.
