According to [1] Blue Mitchell only played on three tracks. Is there any confirmation of this?

Cut and paste edit

The first paragraph reads as follows:

A jazz standard, "Song for My Father" is here in its original form. It is a Bossa Nova in F-minor with an AAB head. On the head, a trumpet and tenor saxophone play in harmony. The song has had a noticeable impact in pop music. The opening bass piano notes were borrowed by Steely Dan for their song "Rikki Don't Lose That Number", while the opening horn riff was borrowed by Stevie Wonder for his song "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing". Earth Wind & Fire also borrowed the opening bass notes for their song Clover.

Is here in its original form"??? I don't hear the music anywhere. That certainly looks like a cut-and-paste job [read: plagiarism] to me, and I'm going to delete the whole paragraph unless evidence to the contrary is presented soon. 50.193.171.69 (talk) 02:10, 14 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

I believe "here" means "on the album that is the subject of this article." I agree it's not clear, though I don't think it's a cut-and-paste (and you're asking us to prove a negative). Might be a moot point because the text in question lacks attribution, anyway. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 02:41, 14 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thanks; sometimes we just "read it wrong", and I agree, your explanation makes it clear. The lack of attribution is a problem, but one shared by 90% of the content on Wikipedia, so I'll leave it alone now. Thanks again. 50.193.171.69 (talk) 03:58, 14 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
