Thank you, SAM MOORE for doing your part to help tame mankind with your gift and talent. Your music was the background soundtrack to our once young lives even when we didn't know it. Sam & Dave was the "ultimate" soul duo. In the meantime, I'll keep the music playing.
Grew up with all this soul music and we danced our arses off …boi did we ever have fun! Midnight Special! Ohh yea, we were faithful watchers late at night lying on the floor with overstuffed pillows and/.or bean bag chairs! Anyone else remember those days? 1-27-25mof♥️
Steve Cropper on the telecaster, Donald "Duck" Dunn on the Fender Bass, played on the record, also the Soul Man hit, and cameo in the Blues Brothers movie some years later...
That Horn section was throwing it out there. Duck Dunn showing how the bass is supposed to be played. Steve Cropper and his famous Tele. Can’t tell who’s beating the skins. Maybe Al Jackson. But Sam and Dave vocals are over the top on this performance. They didn’t hold back.
Sam & Dave soured me on Motown and drew me to the more raw soul at studios in the south. I felt Motown was too pop. Sam & Dave said their greatest memory is that they were the opening act for the Temptations when they toured Europe. They got about 20 minutes and The Temps got whatever time they wanted. At the first show as the duo left the stage the audience yelled for more , so much that it disrupted the Temps performance . This became regular that early in the tour it was obvious the European audiences came to see Sam& Dave more than the Temps. Thus the rest of the tour, the Temps opened the show for about twenty minutes and Sam& Dave got whatever time they needed. True story told by Sam Moore. The MGs backing band also said that the duo got the audience so worked up that they had to cancel balcony tickets as the audiences were stomping and dancing so much they feared the balcony would collapse.
Lord knows I wish today's music had some kind of soul like this, but unfortunately that candle blew out a long time ago. Thank God we can watch those videos on here & remember those days when artist had talent like Sam & Dave, and one hell of a smoking band behind them too!
Never gonna have a voice like Sam and Dave sing this song, i hope Dave is ready to sing with Sam again as they make the angels dance with their soul. Rip Sam your music never dies
This right here explains the frustrations many of his have with modern "music." This was transcendent, as it should always be. The attempt ought to at least be made. Sam, Dave and Band, you will never be forgotten.
El Duo Dinamita es impresionante. La mezcla de sus voces, como transmiten el ritmo, la gente se vuelve loca, no puedes dejar de moverte. Y por supuesto el grupazo que llevan, sin palabras... Cropper, Dunn .... una grabación excepcional, un tesoro, mil gracias.
Thanks for posting this. I’ve been racking my brain trying to remember this old song for the last couple of years. Finally, there it suddenly appeared on my uTube. I didn’t realize it was a Sam & Dave song. Great old song. 😊
Lovely to hear from you. Your brother was righteous👍 and of course Sam was the Bomb. For 50 years I've been groovin to this fabulosity and I don't think there's ever been a better 2-man group. Love and hugs to you from SoCal 😍😍😍
@@curtisphilumalee1447Stax, Royal and American sound were know as the Memphis sound. Great studios where legendary artists recorded classic hit. FYI, Bruno Mars was a huge fan of the Memphis sound. American and Stax had been torn down but royal was a museum but still could record there so Bruno Mars recorded “ Uptown Funk “ there as a tribute to his love of the Memphis sound . Pickett recorded at Stax , late American, Aretha recorded at American after problems at muscle Schoals, Joe tex recorded at American , the Sweet Inspirations recorded at American , Dionne Warwicke too. And the greatest white soul singer recorded at American , namely Elvis Presley , btw the house band at American was all white including Reggie Young on guitar who had left Royal due to money issues. Stax had Booker t and MGs as house band , and artists Sam & Dave, Otis Redding, Carla Thomas, Isaac Hayes and Johnny Taylor among others . Royal recorded Ann Peeples, Denise Lasalle, and their most famous artist Al Green. Al Wanted Reggie Young on guitar but producer Wille Mitchell had cheated him out of money. Al was so determined that he sent his replacement Teeny Hodges to meet Reggie to teach him how Al wanted him to play. Hodges was so impressed with Reggie , he named his first son after him. The Memphis sound is the greatest sound in music history. Even Motown was envious of them. The funk sounds of the 70s were influenced by Memphis.
Sam Moore, the towering tenor of the Sam & Dave soul music duo whose mid-1960s hits “Soul Man” and “Hold On, I’m Comin’ ” soundtracked the lives of countless fans and then heard in film and TV for generations, died Friday, January 10, 2025, at a Miami hospital, his wife Joyce Moore said. Moore, who was born in Miami’s Overtown neighborhood on Oct. 12, 1935, was 89.
This is back when people actually played their instruments and singers… really sang! No computers!!! There are bands still out …. Playing live music! Go see these bands/ singers…. Because it’s real!!!
Sam, Dave, Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn. What a lineup!
Don't forget Al Jackson Jr. on drums.
One half of the Blue Brother Band
AKA Sam & Dave + Booker T. and the MG's
Ikr. And al Jackson jr
Recognized Steve. Duck without a beard looks odd
We had a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline!" Duck Dunn
I wish I could of been at one of Sam and Dave’s Concerts. They always look like they were having Fun.
I would love to have seen them in concert back then but children would not have been allowed at such venues.
The legendary Sam and Dave (R I P. Dave)

Beautifully Said. Couldn't agree more. We really lost a musical genius

I loved their music! Rest in paradise Sam and Dave. Your music will never leave this world. Love you always.😢
How good is that bass :)
That's Donald "Duck" Dunn
ampeg amp looks like !
So good it almost steals the show at one point, actually!
As good as it gets. RIP Duck.
The Saxophones are the star of this song Though!!
Steve Cropper on the telecaster, Donald "Duck" Dunn on the Fender Bass, played on the record, also the Soul Man hit, and cameo in the Blues Brothers movie some years later...
I was so fortunate to be born in the 1950s to experience all this great music on music shows like this.
Steve Cropper on the guitar… Is that Duck Dunn on that bass?…
Sho’ you right!😉🤣
Yes that is Duck.
Without a doubt one of the truly great soul voices of all time-- rip Sam. As for the Universe's greatest band in Heaven...hold on, he's coming...
For anyone under 40, that’s how it’s done in a band.
Bingo
Amen. Doesn’t get much better than this.
Word
I'm 34 and this is my era🤘🤘❤
I'm 67, and I love this song. It was popular when I was a kid. President Trump uses this song in his rallies. He knows good music. ❤❤❤
Listening to the radio in the 60s and 70s, Sam and Dave never failed to show up at some point. If you liked soul or R&B, these guys always delivered!
Not when you lived in the Pocono Mountains and the only stations you picked up played rock music. Glad I still had all my albums and 45rpms.
The bass player is righteous. He lifts this fine performance to a whole 'nother level.
That's the great Duck Dunn !! And Steve Cropper on the Fender Tele !
The Saxophones are the star of this Song though!!!!!
🎉🎉❤❤R.I.P. Sam Moore!! The Soul Man!!
This is pure magic. Soul music is the best music.
The Blues Brothers before the Blues Brothers.
The Blues Brothers were a parody. Sam and Dave were the real deal.
@@otrnam1 You Got That Right!!!
@@otrnam1 Truth!
Sam and Dave WERE and ARE the Blues Brother!
Sam and Dave were the music of a generation. The best.
How fun is this? Pure, unadulterated talent on that stage!! RIP to Duck Dunn.
They had such a contagious enthusiasm! A lively performance!🤩 I loved the bass player's faces!😅
Donald "Duck" Dunn.
🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸 #LEGEND
I don't know if he liked barbados,the keys island.....
I miss these guys good old school music 🎶 nothing like it 2024 still listening ❤❤🎉🎉

A great singer it's sad 😔
RIP Sam Moore
Fan-freaking-tastic. Thank you Midnight Special! ✌
I played tenor sax in high school and man was this a fun song to play. one of my favorites.
Lord knows I wish today's music had some kind of soul like this, but unfortunately that candle blew out a long time ago. Thank God we can watch those videos on here & remember those days when artist had talent like Sam & Dave, and one hell of a smoking band behind them too!
Spectacular then and now…thanks for the video!
Play it Steve!
Oh man, what a machine!
Let the Church say, "Amen!"
Amen.
Amen
I remember this. Lord. I saw this performance on TV. I came out of my chair. Dancing, feeling it.
That horn section is solid .
Never gonna have a voice like Sam and Dave sing this song, i hope Dave is ready to sing with Sam again as they make the angels dance with their soul. Rip Sam your music never dies
Love that Soul and R&B, how fun to be in the audience dancing along with them, Groovy Baby! 😍
I'm Lucky enough to see / hear them live mid sixties! In my home town Leicester!
Masterclass in musicianship.
Double Dynamite reunited with greatest rhythm section ever, the MGs, Steve Cropper, Al Jackson, & Duck Dunn killing on bass!
This right here explains the frustrations many of his have with modern "music." This was transcendent, as it should always be. The attempt ought to at least be made. Sam, Dave and Band, you will never be forgotten.
I miss this music. So very much.
Yea this will always be funky asf 🔥
I just loved how Duck Dunn revised and just exploded his bass part. Going to the higher register for the chorus brings the song to a new intensity!
I so love (Thank You) by them....❤
I couldn't click fast enough and this was just what I hoped it would be. Great stuff. Thanks for the upload.
Thanks so much for the support, it is greatly appreciated and helps us continue to share these incredible gems.
