The drummer for the Winstons, a funk and soul band from the 1960s, has passed away. Gregory Sylvester Coleman played the drums on the Winstons song 'Amen Brother', the drum breakdown on this track has become the most widely sampled peice of music in the history of the world. His ten second drum solo has been used on countless jungle, drum and bass and hip hop tracks over the years, and he never saw a dime for it. Lotsa history here!
