Seano Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 I've just seen a story on the BBC News website about a drum break in the Winstons' Amen Brother (B side of 'Color Him Father') and how it's been sampled in more than 1,500 songs: BBC News story 2

Stephen T Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I would have thought the modern day acts that sold a lot would have to give royalties.
Mike Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 That's the link to the very same story Seano used to open this thread! thats my fault, as I did a late nite merge on two threads but didn't post that had a 2004 vid about 20 mins long on this can be found in the site video feature - link below Nate Harrison's 2004 video is a meditation on the ownership of culture, the nature of art and creativity, and the history of a remarkable music clip. https://www.soul-source.co.uk/videos/view-225-video-explains-the-worlds-most-important-6-sec-drum-loop/
ricticman Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Interested in this stuff ! If anyone wants to listen, the music itself covered it [ sampling etc ] brilliantly with an affectionate look back on the 1991 12' by Subsonic 2 called ' Unsung Heroes of Hip Hop ' on Columbia. Witty witty stuff and a great record. Try it out, even if you're just mildly tempted, just a tweeny bit......you might be surprised how cleverly they put it over ! pete
ricticman Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 I forgot, they even sampled Steve Croppers all time desert island top riff from Sam and Dave's " You don't know like I know", in their, err, ' tribute '. Right, that's me, going for my coat !
