The song that the article refers to is Amen by The Winstons (1969), a cover of the gospel-like Amen by Jester Hairston (1963).<p>Though the drum break was played (and probably &quot;composed&quot;) by band-member G. C. Coleman, the cheque was made out to the copyright holder and singer of the band Richard L. Spencer.<p>I wonder what would be different if Sony held the rights.
