Answer: They have all sampled The Winstons’ 'Amen, Brother’!

The Winstons’ 'Amen, Brother’ is THE most sampled drum break in the history of music (over 5000+ according to whosampled) and has shaped the history of electronic music ever since its creation in 1969.

This is the official release of the Winston’s 'Color Him Father’ album, out of print for fifty years on vinyl, a glorious break-heavy album of soul, funk and gospel featuring the single 'Color Him Father’, 'Amen, Brother’ and loads more! The fully remastered album is housed in exact-reproduction original sleeve and design and comes with 4 extra bonus tracks that the group released only as singles. There is also a very special one-off first pressing only of this album that comes with an exclusive one-sided 12” of 'Amen, Brother’ featuring a specially extended break mix of the classic tune.
