About this listen

In 1973, Clive Campbell fired his drummer for playing too funky. That drummer was James Brown's Clyde Stubblefield, and his vengeful response created the 'Amen Break' - six seconds of drums that became the DNA of hip-hop, jungle, and modern music. Sometimes the best revenge is a perfect breakbeat. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
