Popular Post David Meikle Posted Saturday at 06:35 Popular Post Posted Saturday at 06:35 (edited) “I Thank You” was one of my first introductions to Soul Music. Sam and Dave Prater left a catalogue of songs which can only described as essential. Their “Soothe Me” was the penultimate song played by Pete Roberts in the revitalised Twisted Wheel building before it was demolished. Sam Moore RIP.

Roburt Posted Saturday at 07:54 Posted Saturday at 07:54 (edited) Hank Ballard's "The Twist" was released in December 1958 and that side of his 45 made the US R&B charts in May 59. But the dance craze only really started after Chubby Checker's cover of the song was released in June 1960. Chubby's version had charted by JULY 1960, with Hank's original version back on the R&B charts (& on the pop charts) by SEPTEMBER 1960. As Chubby's version was taking off and was kick starting a dance craze that swept around the world, two solo soul singers were getting together to perform as a duo down in Miami ... at the very beginning they were still performing under their full names. SAM MOORE's singing helped me get into soul music back at the start of 1966; he will be missed ... Edited Saturday at 07:55 by Roburt

Hooker1951 Posted Saturday at 17:39 Posted Saturday at 17:39 Yes Sam n Dave were there right at the start of my love for Soul music together with Otis, Wilson, etc R I P Sam 1
Peter99 Posted Saturday at 18:19 Posted Saturday at 18:19 They were type cast far too much for "Soul Man" - they made far better records than that and were relatively overlooked by many. Sad loss. Peter 2
Happy Feet Posted Sunday at 11:16 Posted Sunday at 11:16 Thanks Douglaschip for the above post , I didn't watch Top of the Pops , so have never seen that performance. I do recall Jools Holland had a gig I think at the Royal Albert Hall , including Sam , Eddie Floyd , Booker T , & his Orchestra etc , but Sam didn't perform " Plenty Good Lovin " which was a great surprise at the time and disappointing.
