I’ve heard conflicting accounts about their knowledge and royalties.

While I’m certain they didn’t receive royalties from all artists, I heard many 80s artists did. And Amen Brothers took others to court. So they would have know about the use of the break.

I will admit I haven’t done any independent research into this matter personally. Just echoing accounts I’ve read and taking their reports at face value.

Who is "Amen Brothers"?

[input_sh]

"Amen, Brother" is the name of the track it's from, so the parent is likely referring to the band.

Yeah, the band is The Winstons. I'm curious how parent knew that they went to court when they don't know the name of the band.

I didn’t say I knew they went to court. I just said I thought I read about it.

Looking into it again now, all I can find is a 10+ year old article about a crowd fund (eg https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-34785551). So I’m likely misremembering what I read previously.

> when they don't know the name of the band.

I just got the name of the band muddled with the name of the song. I also sometimes get get the names of my friends and loved ones muddled. But that doesn’t mean I don’t know them either. I’m just shit with names.

I do however remember every useless number I learned as a child. Including phone numbers to kids TV shows. Human memory is weird :-/
