"Hawai'i '78 Introduction" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole vs. "A Change Is Going To Come" by Baby Huey

I think I detect the influence of the spoken-word Baby Huey track in the spoken-word Iz track. Or am I being, I dunno, Weightist (?) and imagining a similarity?

(I'll understand perfectly if this query goes unanswered, btw.)
