Sam & Dave - Soul Man (1967)
Sam & Dave were an American soul and R&B duo who performed together from 1961 until 1981. The tenor (higher) voice was Sam Moore (born 1935) and the baritone/tenor (lower) voice was Dave Prater (1937–1988). Nicknamed "Double Dynamite", "The Sultans of Sweat", and "The Dynamic Duo" for their gritty, gospel-infused performances, Sam & Dave are considered one of the greatest live acts of the 1960s. Many subsequent musicians have named them as an influence, including Bruce Springsteen, Al Green, Tom Petty, Phil Collins, Michael Jackson, Steve Van Zandt, Elvis Costello, The Jam, Teddy Pendergrass, Billy Joel and Steve Winwood. The Blues Brothers, who helped create a resurgence of popularity for soul, R&B, and blues in the 1980s, were influenced by Sam & Dave – their biggest hit was a cover of "Soul Man", and their act and stage show contained many homages to the duo.

Se n'è andato un altro dei Grandi. Una vera Anima Soul. Il #SoulMan #SamMoore. Mi azzardo a dire che, se non ci fosse stato lui, probabilmente molti di quelli che amo alla follia non sarebbero ciò che sono. youtu.be/5ONNSlk--tE?...

I can’t dance. I got no rhythm. Makes me kinda hate dancing. Feel like a doofus. But Sam & Dave make me dance. Put them on and I start moving to a beat without thought. Just happens. Still ain’t good, but is instinct, it is pure, and kinda beautiful. Rest in Peace Sam Moore 1935-2025 ❤️
RIP Sam Moore (1935-2025)
This goes out in memory of half of the Sam & Dave duo, as Sam Cooke passed away today. The King of Soul's Tenor voice will be missed, but it will be singing via FM/Sirius stations & under the laser lights for decades to come. RIP Sam! Thanks for the blues! youtu.be/5ONNSlk--tE?...
Sam Moore was such a class act. His duet as Sam & Dave ended in disaster but the music is undeniable. He’s one of the greats & it’s sad to see the soul legends pass away. His last album was his 1st solo album with an all star line up sponsored by Springsteen. youtu.be/5ONNSlk--tE?...
