Here's the scoop on the Winstons (aka Winston Brothers) from the All-Music Guide (http://www.allmusic.com). The one album listed doesn't have tracks so I don't know if "Say Amen, Brother" appears on it or not. Research on individual shoe sizes was inconclusive... The Winstons Formed: Washington, D.C. Genre: Rock Style: Soul AMG ID#P000025405 AMG BIOGRAPHY: The Winstons were a Washington, D.C. vocal group that won artistic and commercial rewards for their lone hit in 1969. "Color Him Father" earned them a Top 10 R&B and pop hit, just missing number one on the R&B list, and also earned a Grammy for Best R&B song. It was both a great tribute number and outstanding lead vocal from Richard Spencer, along with Ray Maritano, Quincy Mattison, Phil Tolotta, Sonny Peckrol, and G.C. Coleman. Mattison and Coleman were veterans of Otis Redding's band. The Winstons eventually toured as the backup band for the Impressions, but never again made any noise on the charts. -- Ron Wynn DISCOGRAPHY (albums) Color Him Father Metromedia
