The Winstons

The Winstons are a funk and soul music outfit from the 1960s who are most notable for recording a track called "Amen My Brother" (a B-side to the single "Color Me Father" recorded in 1969). "Amen My Brother" is probably the most sampled record of all time. Midway through the track there is a drum solo which contains the "amen break" which has been sampled and used in thousands of drum and bass and jungle tracks.
The Winstons were:
- Richard Spencer (lead vocals, tenor saxophone)
- Ray Maritano (vocals, alto saxophone)
- Quincy Mattison (vocals, lead guitar)
- Phil Tolotta (second lead, organ)
- Sonny Peckrol (vocals, bass guitar)
- G.C. Coleman (vocals, drums)Template:Band-stub
