Two unknown Funk & Soul tracks. Any idea?

Thamks!

Last one reminds me to the Mizell Brothers Sound.

    First one appeared in a Mr Thing mix… wondering if these were both from Champion Nerd/Nerd Is Bond?

    First one sounds like, or is, Olmeca - Can't Stop Me.  I think Olmeca sampled the old OG which I don't know.

    If the last one sounds like a Mizell production, given the flute, it could be Bobbi Humphrey.  But the BVs aren't Mizelly enough for me.

    Thanks for helping! I found the first song on an old Jake One Mix CD after listening to it again after 15 years. Maybe Mr. Thing will tell me. 
    Bobbi Humphrey… Good idea. Let’s see.

    First one is Jimmy Lewis "That Won't Stop Me From Loving You" from 'Totally Involved'

    It's not the second song at all, but this reminded me that I recently picked up an album that had a surprising Mizell + flute sound - The First Cosins Jazz Ensemble:

    That record is so dope. Cheap heat. If it was on some private label or with some obscure musicians, it'd be like $50+ imo
