The Soul Searcher’s 1974 funk instrumental “Ashley’s Roachclip” contains one of the most sampled breaks ever in music, having been used widely in hip-hop and dance music throughout the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. The break appears at 3:31 in the song.
The song comes off The Soul Searcher’s Salt Of The Ea...

Ashley’s Roachclip was written by Lloyd Pinchback.
Ashley’s Roachclip was produced by Joe Tate & Carroll Hynson.
I suspect they got it from a 1972 comedy bit by Cheech & Chong titled “Rebuttal: Speaker Ashley Roachclip” from their Grammy-nominated album Big Bambu.
