When you tend to think about dance music or even artists like Kanye and Beyoncé, many people will think of their songs and who they have sampled in each one of their new songs. For example, Drake's “Hotline Bling” wasn't all his work, instead he used a sample from a 1972 R&B track by Timmy Thomas called “Why Can't We Live Together.”
According to WhoSampled.com, there's one song that has been sampled more than any other song. The song they are referring to is a 1960s song called “Amen, Brother” by The Winstons. The website claims that it has been sampled in over 2,000 songs, but the sample only lasts roughly 6 seconds long. Instead of using the vocals or chorus, “Amen, Brother” is known for the ‘Amen Break' which is a particular drum beat.
Below are the most sampled tracks of all time:
