Rich Girl - From Rich Man to Gwen Stefani

Speaking about reggae, I was listening to some ol' school dancehall vibes today and one of the songs was Louchie Lou and Michie One's Rich Girl.

Ok maybe from the name you had already guess the borrower; it's Gwen Stefani with her 2004 Dr. Dre produced song featuring Eve, of the same name - Rich Girl. The song aint that bad but the original definitely is better.



But what if I told you that Louchie Lou and Michie One's version is also borrowed?

Yep! They borrowed the song from a 1964 Musical called Fiddler on The Roof. The name of the song is called If I Were A Rich Man.
