Yeah the last point.
Although a Google search told me some people raised money for the band so they got some compensation for being plundered over the decades.

There was a gofundme set up for them which raised £24,000 which in the grand scheme of things is fuck all. But it all went to the lead singer and by the looks of it was never shared with the drummers famiy.
i’m sad to say, but when i talked to Richard this morning, and told him i have been in contact with the Coleman family, and asked him if he intended to share with them, he told me “I do not intend to participate in discussions about this project with every body showing up with their hands out”

“Amen Brother” by the Winston’s is an interpolation of Cannonball Adderley’s “Mercy Mercy” and Archie Bell and the Drell’s "“Tighten Up”
Both came out way before. If your into chitln circuit 1960s bangers like me, The Winston’s were doing the same thing as everyone else. The fast tempo was a texas/memphis thing. Check out King Curtis from Stax, “Memphis Souls Stew” was the first popular song to kind give a solo to each member, when you have Bernard Purdie as your drummer, this is a good idea. James Brown even giving “the drummer some” was a big deal since he was better than any drummer in his band until Clyde Stubblefield came along…
Sorry junglist’s but you didn’t discover these breaks lol

Last week to get in your beats!
We’re down to 4 teams in the Coupe, and getting down to the wire for our World Dubs ! So far we’ve gotten in 6 killer tracks, but it would be great to have even more.
As a reminder, the deadline is a week from tonight—Sunday, July 19th!
