Hold Up samples Can't Get Used to Loosing You

Beyoncé’s “Hold Up” (2016) is built on Andy Williams’s “Can't Get Used to Loosing You” (1963) — a sample that travelled 53 years to get there. In SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE we spin the original and ask you to name the hit that flipped it. This one lives in the intermediate crate, worth 2 points in party mode.
