Sam Moore , from the 1960s duo Sam and Dave who were known for hits like Soul Man and Hold On, I'm Comin', has died at the age of 89, his publicist has announced.

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. In 2008, the movie Soul Men depicted a pair of aging, estranged singers who bore more than a little resemblance to Sam and Dave. Moore lost a lawsuit claiming the resemblance was too close.

Moore said in 1994 that he joined the legal effort after learning, despite his million-selling records, his pension amounted to just $2,285, which he could take as a lump sum or in payments of $73 monthly.“If you’re making a profit off of me, give me some too. Don’t give me cornbread and tell me it’s biscuits.”
