The Amen Break is the most popular, most used, most sampled drum beat in history, and it's appeared on over 2000 separate recordings and spawned new music genres. Hear the story of the song, the track, the sample and the man behind it. We speak to Richard L Spencer, owner of the song 'Amen Brother' and the Amen Break.

Here's a GoFundMe to raise money and recognition for Richard and links to his recent literary works; "The Molasses Tree" & "The Heir".
