Artist: Winstons
Author: Richard Spencer
Label: Metromedia
Year: 1969
B-side of their only hit Color Him Father. We're talking about G.C. Coleman's short drum solo between 1'23" and 1'29". All things considered, this Amen, Brother's just an Archie Bell & The Drells-drenched reworking of the famous spiritual Amen.
Covers:
NWA [drum sample in Straight Outta Compton]
One of the most sampled drum breaks in later years. Speeded up, slowed down or even deconstructed, it became a hallmark for 'jungle' and 'drum & bass' and was used in commercials and games without any credit for The Winstons.
