Half of 1960s duo Sam & Dave is also remembered for the hit Hold On, I’m Comin’
Sam Moore – the surviving half and higher voice of the 1960s duo Sam & Dave that was known for such definitive hits of the era asPublicist Jeremy Westby said Moore died on Friday morning in Coral Gables, Florida, due to complications while recovering from surgery. No additional details were immediately available.
Most of their hits were written and produced by the team of Isaac Hayes and David Porter and featured the Stax house band Booker T & the MGs, whose guitarist Steve Cropper received one of music’s most famous shoutouts when Sam & Dave called “Play it, Steve” midway through Soul Man. He also spent years suing Prater after Prater hired a substitute and toured as the New Sam & Dave. Prater died in a 1988 car crash in Georgia.
“Two thousand dollars for my lifetime?” Moore said then. “If you’re making a profit off of me, give me some too. Don’t give me cornbread and tell me it’s biscuits.” He married his wife, Joyce, in 1982, and she helped him get treatment for his addiction that he credited with saving his life.
