Great article on the BBC news site about the sister break to the Funky Drummer, the Amen Brother break. On a track by 60s R and B group The Winstons it has been copied 1500 times apparently by everyone from salt n Pepa to Oasis. No-ones had any royalties as (I think) you can’t copyright a rhythm. Now there’s a fundraiser towards one of the men behind it. Read the article, includes a pretty good mash up feat Bowie, prodigy, Winehouse et Al to show what they mean.
