Wendy Rene's "After Laughter (Comes Tears)" is a Stax Records classic. The song found success in Memphis, but not even Stax Record's reputation or Booker T. Washington on the organ could force ("command + F" for Baylor) it onto national radio.
The song found new life though. RZA, Wu-Tang's mastermind and producer, sampled the track twice. First on Wu-Tang's Debut:
And again on his solo album, Digital Bullet:
All great songs, but if I had to choose, I'd go with the original.
(Side Note One: RZA's other solo album, Bobby Digital, is underrated and the weirdest Wu-related release.)
(Side Note Two: Wendy Rene was scheduled to fly with Otis Redding. She didn't. The plane crash and an immeasurable amount of talent died that day.)
