The song was based on a Curtis Mayfield guitar riff and drum break was played by George G.C. Coleman. ‘Color Him Father’ became a million-selling no. 1 R\u0026amp;B hit single in the US and the following year the Winstons released their debut (and only) album of the same name – a superb rare slice of soul, funk and gospel music that has changed the course of music over the last fifty years!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
