The Winstons - Amen, Brother (1969)

Found this on 45 at the Swansea Sally's: Amen, Brother by The Winstons. Featuring what's billed as the "most famous drum break of all time."

For the full story, check out this pretty amazing 18-minute video breakin' it down:

which reveals the track was sampled on 3rd Bass' Wordz Of Wisdom and Straight Outta Compton by NWA, among other classic hip-hop joints.

From 2000-2008, Ringside in Durham, NC was the South's coolest nightspot, a decadent refuge for queers and straights alike. Ringside may be gone, but memories of the best damn party in town live on!
