The 7 second drum solo from “Amen brother” would go down in history as the “Amen Break”.
It is considered to be one of the most important and influential pieces of music ever created.
It was initially made for a filler song, but as a musician, you never know when the right inspiration hits you at the right time…
The “Amen Break” is a 7-second drum solo performed by Gregory Cylvester “G.C.” Coleman in the song “Amen, Brother”.
“Amen, Brother” was recorded on the B-side of the 1969 single “Color Him Father” by The Winstons.
The single needed something to fill up the B-Side so lead singer Spencer told the band his idea of a variation on the popular gospel song “Amen”.
The drummer Gregory Coleman didn’t think much of the song but nevertheless felt inspired enough to spice the song up with a good drum rhythm.
It is one of the most sampled pieces of music in history, and is often used as the basis for drum and bass, hip hop, and many many other genres of music.
In 2021 it was estimated that the “Amen Break” was sampled in at least 5000 songs since its initial release.
The Amen Break is considered to be one of the most important and influential pieces of music ever created.
The Amen Break is credited to Gregory S “GC” Coleman, a drummer from Washington, D.C. Gregory Coleman lived from September 25, 1944, until February 5, 2006.
He was a member of the Winstons, an American funk and soul music group.
Apart from sales of the original recording of “Amen Brother”, Coleman never received any royalties from the widespread use of the “Amen Break” sample, despite songs that used or interpreted his sample making millions.
Gregory was not fond of the blatant plagiarism of his drum break but expressed that it was flattering.
He died homeless and in poverty, probably never realizing the impact he made on the world of music.
Finally in 2015 a fundraiser was started to at least compensate Richard Lewis Spencer, lead singer and songwriter of the Winstons and copyright holder of the song “Amen Brother”.
About $24.000 dollar was raised. At least something.
And in 2017 the Winstons were added to the North Carolina Musical Hall of Fame.
Finally the Winstons got some recognition for their addition to the development of music that would have been quite a bit different if they hadn’t put that catchy filler song on their singles’ B-Side
