The Winstons - Amen Brother
Posted in Records on Oct 17, 2006 at 3:32 PM

The Winstons were a soul band who had a single solitary hit record - 1969's 'Color Me Father', but I'm not here to talk about that I'm more interested in the B-Side. The B-Side is a fun enough soul groove which for a brief moment strips the track down to nithing but those drums, and in so doing provided one of the defining samples for the hip-hop and jungle music cultures. And it just so happens that someone has uploaded a great documentary on this little piece of the musical firmament....

Amen Brother! Sounds like a track that would have been included in the "Director's Cut" of The Blues Brothers movie, if such a thing existed :) Can I get a witness?
