Cousin Brucie speaks with Phil Tolotta, the lead singer of The Winstons, to celebrate Father’s Day through the lens of their classic hit, "Color Him Father." Tolada recounts the band’s organic formation in Washington D.C., their name’s accidental origin from a cigarette pack, and the series of fortunate events—including a chance encounter with Curtis Mayfield—that led to their rise on the Chitlin Circuit. Beyond the main single, the conversation explores the unintended legacy of the B-side track "Amen, Brother," which contains the "Amen Break," a drum solo that became the most prolifically sampled foundation in hip-hop history despite the original drummer never receiving proper credit.
