Wiki. Sam & Dave. The (higher) voice was Sam Moore (b. 1935, FL) and the baritone/tenor (lower) voice was Dave Prater of GA (19371988). Nicknamed "Double Dynamite", "The Sultans of Sweat", & "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.
Sam & Dave's hits from 1965 through 1968 included included "Soul Man", "Hold On, I'm Comin'", "You Don't Know Like I Know", "I Thank You", "When Something Is Wrong with My Baby", "Wrap It Up", and many other Southern Soul classics. Except for Aretha Franklin, no soul act during Sam & Dave's Stax years (19651968) had more consistent R&B chart success, including 10 consecutive top-20 singles and three consecutive top-10 LPs...
