“Color Him Father” #7 7/19/1969

The Winstons were an interracial one-hit wonder from Washington, DC with a cool take on being a step-dad. At one time they were the Impressions’ backing group. This became far more notable for the B-side, “Amen, Brother” which contains a six-second drum solo said to be the most sampled loop in rap music. The drummer, G.C. Coleman, never saw a penny in royalties, though, and died broke in 2006.
