Many artists have sampled "Black Cow", for which the hypnotic bassline was played by Chuck Rainey. The 1994 J Ty remix of Beyonc�'s "Me, Myself and I" also contains elements of this song.

The song, "Don't Look Any Further" and its notorious video featured talented singer/songwriter, Siedah Garrett. Siedah also sang with Michael Jackson on the 1987 hit ballad, "I Just Can't Stop Loving You".
