This one is for all music lovers out there. Especially the ones who love Drum and Bass, Hip Hop or Jungle (like me). It tells you about a 6 second long sample taken from a B-Side of a 1969 hit-single by a Funk and Soul combo called The Winstons. It is regarded as the one defining piece of music responsible for the creation of a whole subculture and music genres like, well you've guessed it: Hip Hop, Jungle and Drum and Bass.
