Cherchez La Ghost - Misplaced Pages

"Cherchez La Ghost" is a song by American rapper Ghostface Killah featuring fellow Wu-Tang Clan member U-God and uncredited vocals from singer Madam Majestic. It was released in 2000 via Razor Sharp/Epic Records as the second single from GFK's second solo studio album Supreme Clientele. Recording sessions took place at 36 Chambers Studio in New York City. Production was handled by Carlos Bess, who used samples from "Greedy G" by Brentford All Stars and the 1976 song "Cherchez La Femme" by Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band.

The single peaked at number 98 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking the rapper's first entry to the chart as a solo artist. An accompanying music video was directed by Little X.

The song was later added to his 2003 greatest hits album Shaolin's Finest.
