The history of sampling through one breakbeat

If you're interested in music in general, this should be interesting for you. The Amen Break is a six second sample from a record released by The Winstons in 1969. After being recorded it has moved through a bunch of newer music tracks and commercials to become one of the most well-known beat samples we have. This very audio based video tells the story of it's journey and how it's related to legislation and culture connected to sampling.
