Yeah, but the Winstons 'Amen' where everyone lifts the break from is a fabulous tune, and when you play it out you can kick the record on 45 when the break comes in and get a d&b bridge in a great soul-funk tune...but yes the break is played out....but if you dig the original and don't want to hear the break then "We're a Winner" by The Impressions is almost the same song but slowed down without the break and you get Curtis Mayfield singing....and now I'm revealing that my vast amount of semi-useless spotters knowledge also extends into old soul/r&b so I'm going to stop now....
