The Most Sampled Loop in Music History

What do Skrillex, David Bowie, Salt-N-Pepa and basically every drum and bass track have in common? They've all used the Amen break, a four-bar drum solo that has become the most sampled loop in music history. Recorded in 1969, the six second sample originates from the song “Amen, Brother” by The Winstons, a funk and soul group from Washington, D.C. For many years, the solo was buried deep in musical archives-that is until hip-hop pioneer Lou Flores, aka “Breakbeat Lou,” featured it on his compilation, “The Ultimate Breaks and Beats.” Once producers caught wind of the solo, it took off, going on to change music forever.

He was homeless, twice married and is survived by a daughter and step daughter. " Ripped off man.

Due to it being sampled so many times, the Amen Break is pretty much in the public domain. Had the Winstons defended the copyright they could have pocketed millions. However, this might have been at the expense of killing new geners of music.

@@aaronpollard7207 sampling is apart of hip hop. it’s not because they can’t, it’s because sampling the beats of older songs gives it a better sound. but anyone who has listened to hip hop would already know that. sampling is “illegal” yet using someone’s else’s song quite literally inside of your ad or piece of media isn’t.

As a Brit I got a lot of respect for Breakbeat, it’s stemmed a whole genre of music called Big Beat in the UK during the 90s. Artists such as The Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, 808 State, The Chemical Brothers, The Future Sound of London, Bentley Rhythm Ace, Propellerheads, Pendulum, Basement Jaxx, Apollo 440, Chase & Status, and many many more (I could go on for ages) all produced songs of this genre taking heavy inspiration from Breakbeat. Of course from other styles of music too, such as acid house, jungle, and techno. It was a monumental moment in developing the still awesome (but never quite as legendary) scene of DnB in the UK today.

James Brown - Funky Drummer also of 1969 was another song that had a great break that also was sampled by loads of other artists.

I’m very well-versed with this loop. Have heard it and known it my whole life; I’m not lying when I say I ALMOST “beatbox” it once a day when I’m bored, if not that then I’m finger-drumming it and have been every day for I don’t know how many years. For some damn reason the first thing that comes up in my head every time I listen to it is “HeavyDirtySoul”.

Well, it’s more the mother and father of things like Breakbeat Hardcore. Breakcore is a later rendition of music like Drill n Bass, not really it’s own thing created from the break.

As the fella above me says, it's not the same break. There's less high-hat hits and the snare has a different texture. They also prided themselves generally on making everything themselves, not sampling in the early works.
