The_Amen_Break,_in_context.ogg (Ogg Vorbis sound file, length 14 s, 145 kbps, file size: 257 KB)
A 14-second sample from the song "Amen My Brother" by The Winstons. The clip includes the 5-second drum break now known as the Amen break, one of the world's most famous samples. It fits the criteria for fair use, as it is an "iconic piece of music...accompanied by critical or historical commentary" (see WP:FU).
The copyright holder is unknown. At one point it belonged to The Winstons, certainly. Nate Harrison's documentary on the Amen break ( [1]) says that the Amen break may have been copyrighted by a music software company. Omphaloscope » talk 22:54, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
