The song is an uptempo, instrumental rendition of the gospel music classic "Amen". It is unknown, but doubtful, whether the drummer, G.C. Coleman, has received any royalties for the sampling of his drum part.

The openly gay singer has built a small cult following with works that deal squarely with homophobia and racism. In addition to his nine albums, the multi-talented Siffre has written three books of poetry and has also written for the stage. Musically, Siffre is known for his soulful, high-pitched voice and false Peter 2005-01-01T01:01:00+01:00 2006-10-11T09:44:25Z 2006-10-11T09:44:25Z tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451569.post-116055986595154505 Links and references Background wikipedia.org History Fresh Prince - Gangstarr -Prodigy Xampled Research page false Peter 2004-12-17T17:25:44+01:00 2004-12-19T14:24:44Z 2004-12-17T17:26:27Z tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451569.post-110330438737625347 Xampled: Steve Winwood Stephen Winwood was born May 12, 1948, in England.

The Spencer Davis Group released a handful of classic R&B-styled singles, including "Keep on false Peter 2004-12-01T16:41:58+01:00 2004-12-15T16:40:58Z 2004-12-15T16:40:58Z tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451569.post-110312885895569999 Xampled: the Commodores The members of the Commodores came together as a result of two groups disbanding: the Mystics and the Jays.
