wishing on a star (accapella)

I've been listening to this KDAY mastermixes for the last few days and the one thing that keeps sparking my curiousity is this accapella. There's a mix where they are blending what appears to be a accapella of "wishing on a star" to a "hip hop beat". Who is that accapella, anyone know? I'm pretty sure it's not Rolls Royce but I could be tripping. By the "Wishing On A Star" is one in a series of top notch ballads by the incredible Rolls Royce...had to give them their props...ha. On the side trivial note, I once read an interview where Medusa (project blowed fame) was saying she is related to Billie Calvin (who wrote that song) and Medusa said she is playing a "bucket" as a child on that track at the end...i'm pretty sure I'm not crazy and that's what read...I've had weirder dreams to fuse with reality though...ha.

I thought I remembered KDAY playing that record back in the day, does it have a slowed down Funky Drummer (I think)?
Damn, this guy has been around for a minute. Krust aka Keith Thompson, pretty huge DnB producer. Just watched an interview with him on Redbull where he dropped some knowledge about the history of this record, worth checking.
If there's an acapella for this I doubt it's been ripped from vinyl, I'll keep an eye out for it though.
my area (KISS 108 FM) that would play "Wishing on a Star" every day
of the week at exactly noon. I remember back in the 80's switching the
channel to 108 at like 11:56 so I could hear it. A couple of months
ago I was in a store with KISS 108 on, and right at noon, it came on!
Apparently they have maintained this traditon for something like 25 years
now ... pretty strange, and also pretty damn cool.
that is interesting and somewhat amazing. Where is that you are located, I like it already....ha. Rolls Royce is one of my childhood favorites easily!
This could be the case. When I get home I'll post a link with the KDAY Mastermix if anyone wants to check it out and maybe recognize what the hell they are using....ha. It's possible he's just repeating an intro over a beat and I just never noticed that.
thanx for all the feedback!
just listened again and the beat is "peter piper" and something else that my brain can't register...

curtis harmon kday master mix 10-29-89. The "wishing on a star" comes in 6:55....
it's 9:22 total time
Maybe the No JB Beats version. I haven't had the 12" in over 10 years, so I can't remember to be honest.
It's a blend of the Fresh 4 with the Peter Piper beat, although it's not the acapella, it's the vocal version. I tried to find the Fresh 4 record to post it but can't find it.
