Salt of the Earth is the second album by the Washington, D.C.–based group The Soul Searchers
Released in 1974, this album has become one of the most sampled albums in hip hop music with the drum break from "Ashley's Roachclip" being the basis of many popular songs of the past thirty years.
Charles Louis Brown (August 22, 1936 – May 16, 2012) was an American guitarist, bandleader, and singer known as "The Godfather of Go-Go". Go-go is a subgenre of funk music developed around the Washington, D.C., area in the mid-1970s. While its musical classification, influences, and origins are debated, Brown is regarded as the fundamental force behind the creation of go-go music.
At the time of his death, he was still performing music and was well known in the Washington, D.C., area. The song "Ashley's Roachclip" from the 1974 album Salt of the Earth by Brown's band The Soul Searchers contains a drum break, sampled countless times in various other tracks. Brown's R&B hits include "Bustin' Loose"(1979) and "We Need Some Money"(1984).
