Recently, a good friend of mine tried to convince me that James Brown's Funky Drummer was the most sampled recording in all of history. And while I may have to admit that my premise may have been overstated, i.e., that the Amen Break did hold that honor, I do not believe anyone can deny how the Amen Break from the B-Side of the Winston's Color Me Father changed the music world.
So while I may concede the title of "most sampled", I will continue to uphold that the Amen Break is the most influential 6 second recording in all of history...well, at least modern musical history.
Cheers-
Fritz
