REAL GONE
Soul Man
Sam Moore, of 1960s R&B hitmakers Sam & Dave, left us on January 10.
Double whammy: Sam Moore (left) and Dave Prater, AKA ’60s soul superstars Sam & Dave.
AS ONE HALF of Sam & Dave, Sam Moore tore up the stage with sweat-dripping urgency, and cut raw classics of ’60s soul in the studio. Hold On, I’m Comin’, Soul Man and I Thank You captured the pair’s straight-out-the-church melisma and call and response, over superheated, gut-level soundtracks furnished by Booker T. & The M.G.’s and The Mar-Keys.
