I love crap like this. By “this” I mean this short video about the “Amen Break,” a six-second bit of drums that can be heard in half the damned rap songs ever made, even today, stolen from an obscure 1969 B-side that otherwise nobody had heard of. This one band, long-forgotten, in a song even they have likely forgotten, laid down what turned out to be one of the most-heard snatches of music in human history. This is the story.
