Amen, Brother - The Winston's

The Amen break is a drum break that has been sampled thousands of times in numerous music genres. [1] It comes from the 1969 track "Amen, Brother" by a soul group called The Winston's.

At ~1:25 seconds into the track Gregory Coleman performs a four-bar drum break. For two bars, he plays the previous beat; in the third, he delays a snare hit; in the fourth, he leaves the first beat empty, following with a syncopated pattern and early crash cymbal, or as his band mate Richard Spencer said " he poured his heart and soul into that drum break" [2]

That drum break is is now a part of music as we know it, a foundational building block in percussion.

I upload it here for consideration and review, for parody and remix.
