The Winstons were a funk and soul band that became notorious thanks to the B side of their 1969 single “Color Him Father / Amen, Brother”. “Amen, Brother” features the 7-second solo drum performance that went to become the most sampled drum groove ever, known as the “Amen Break”. Played by G.C. Coleman (1944 – 2006), who sadly never received any royalties from the widespread usage of his recording.

Original 1969 pressing on Metromedia Records. Although both labels of the single state “stereo”, only “Color Him Father” is actually stereo. “Amen, Brother” is a mono recording.
