7In 1969, a {{Soul}}[=/=]{{Funk}} group called The Winstons had a hit with a song called "Color Him Father". On the B-side of the single was a song called "Amen, Brother", an {{Instrumental}} version of the GospelMusic standard "Amen". It contained within it a 5-second drum solo. This drum break, called the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amen_Break amen break,]] has the distinction of being the single most sampled piece of music in modern history; [=WhoSampled=].com lists nearly 5,000 recordings that have used the Break. Every genre, from HipHop, to {{Techno}}, to {{Rock}} has used it at one time or another. It is one of the most ubiquitous pieces of music in modern pop culture. ''Whole genres'' of music [[FollowTheLeader owe their very existence to it]]. The genre(s) of [[DrumAndBass Jungle and/or Drum'n'Bass]][[note]]some people use the two terms interchangeably; others insist the latter is a subgenre of the former[[/note]] are pretty much built entirely around the creative use of the Amen Break; sometimes chopping the sample into tiny pieces and building completely new beats out of pieces.

658** Many day stages in ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed''. If there isn't one, boosting will fix that, as every time you boost, the song gains lots of reverb and an Amen Break track.
659** Not just ''Unleashed'', a few tracks throughout the series since 2004 use the Amen Break. You can find almost two tracks that use the beat in nearly every game in the series since then. This is largely down to Tomoya Ohtani. When questioned about it on his Facebook profile, he attributed it to being his favorite beats sample. But yeah, Unleashed pretty much features it the most prominently.

714Hoo boy, it'd be easier to list songs that ''don't'' have this break in some form.[[note]]The sad part is, The Winstons have never received a dime for any of this; Greg Coleman, who played the break, died homeless in 2006.[[/note]]
