Six Seconds That Shaped 1,500 Songs

image credit

Amen, Brother was a little-known B-side released in 1969. Barely noticed at the time, its drum solo (now called the Amen break) has been hugely influential, appearing in different forms in more than 1,500 other songs - but the band behind it never made any money from it.

The Amen break is a 6 to 7 second drum solo performed in 1969 by Gregory Cylvester Coleman in the song 'Amen, Brother' performed by the 1960s funk and soul outfit The Winstons. You can hear the Amen break here.

So he claims he felt raped because somebody ripped off their drum break? But he thinks it's ok that he ripped off and old gospel song and stole a Curtis Mayfield riff? Hypocrite.
