Sam & Dave - Hold On I'm Comin' (1967) | LIVE

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.

These guys did more to break down the walls of the racial divide than most today do. Shit, I thought these guys the two coolest dudes on the planet. And I couldn't get enough. Still can't. Sam and Dave. Respect.

In 1966, i was 14 years old and went to a party in Raleigh, NC They were playing Hold on i”m comin.. The kids had a dance to it .The song still moves me 58 years later .. Yes … This is when songs had a meaning that you could identify with .. but arrangements and “Grooves” that captivated their audience !!

Why on earth isn’t that audience on their feet and dancing?! I am dancing here in my apartment, listening to this. They were wonderful!

It was the year of 1967, they were Sam & Dave, the dance back then was called the Boogaloo.

[davidjaslow]

I wish I could go back in time and see a Sam and Dave Concert.

Four Saxes on the left, a Sax on the right with a Trombone and a Trumpet. I would be on my feet with my arms in the air. And I'm not even religious.
