I had to laugh at that one. Not to poke fun or anything, but playing with the Blues Brothers is about the least thing they ever did in their lives. Not that I have anything against the BB, but these guys were on records by Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Albert King, Peter Frampton, Roy Orbison, Wilson Picket, Etta James, Paul Simon, Leon Russel, etc... and of course were members of Booker T. and the MGs.

[@katherinebarich3192]

Soul!!!! The moment I knew I needed it was in 1974. I had always like Motown, but the day I knew I was deficient was at a Mardi Gras parade in Biloxi, Miss. I was in marching band, and we had finished the route and had gathered to watch the rest of the parade. After some floats and run of the mill Sousa tunes, lo, and behold, came a band the likes I had never seen. For certain it was from a HBCU, and I seem to remember it was Alcorn State University. The drum major was wearing a fitted jumpsuit - maybe a bit Bowie-esque in retrospect. He was moving down the street with his back almost at 45 degrees to the ground making huge strides. He didn't have the normal drum major mace, but rather the baton more commonly (at that time) associated with the majorettes. He was twirling it like crazy, and then he threw the baton on the ground, where it landed on its rubber end and flew up into the air. He caught it effortlessly. There were probably dancers, but I couldn't take my eyes off of the drum major and his ultimate cool. The band struck up with Eddie Kendrick's Keep on Truckin'. I was simply blown away. I've seen nothing like it since and it changed me in a profound way. I always hoped that this talented performer at the head of that band went on to have a wonderful career in music. Jamel could you please do some classic soul - a little pre-disco? Eddie Kendricks (Keep on Truckin) would be cool, as would Ohio Players (Fire & Love Roller Coaster) or Marvin Gaye (Me & Mrs. Jones, What's Going On)

[@lesliechester7180]

[@joans5953]

It was probably 1967 when I first started visiting a friend who lived on a farm outside of Grand Rapids, MI. At that time I was probably into the British Invasion groups. Well, my friend's brother, who really was quite a racist, loved...loved...loved soul music. (Go figure, right?) He really got me into the soul groups from back then...The Temptations, Four Tops, Sam and Dave...any one from Motown. Once I got into that music, I never looked back. Except for some awesome Beatles albums that came out after that. I really believe that it was music that helped bridge some of the racial divide back then. And, Jamel, I just love it when you really get into songs like this. My jaw starts to hurt from smiling so much.

You gotta do “ Hold on ( I’m coming )”

[@rubboardcindy]

Pure Awesome.....We need more music like this now.....The Midnight Special had great bands on the show.....I would sneak up to watch it on the TV.......

[@SuperMoedogg]

You should listen to "Georgy Porgy" and "Hold The Line" by "Toto". You'll Love Them!!!

[@carlastanley1138]

I do believe he has done hold the line.👍😊🥰

[@victoriag3249]

Haha, I reached over to crank my speakers up just as you said, "Turn me up!" It's such a pleasure to watch you listen to songs. I find myself movin' and shakin' and nodding along with you, and beaming when I see the delightful expressions that cross your face. Your channel is a shining example of the brightest side of social media: its power to connect and uplift people. That's something to treasure, especially in these times when many of us are socially isolated. Thanks for treating us to these two songs; I'd never heard a live performance of "Soul Man," and it was fabulous! One more thing: Have you ever listened to Yusuf Islam, formerly Cat Stevens? You might like "Home in the Sky."

How about some Marvin Gaye Etta James Summer for early stuff and I wish I was a blind girl Otis Redding I could name plenty of them how about getting into some of that music your girl Liz

[@karaminalee]

Liz, yes!!! Unless Jamel has already heard his songs, we DEFINITELY need some Otis!!! That was going to be my next campaign! And any Marvin and Etta he hasn’t heard yet!

[@larryh.4629]

Been telling him the same thing hang in there maybe we can get him to share the stage with the stars of his own culture they are spectacular marvin was one of my faves too. Glad it's not just me loved the Sam an dave.

Me and my sisters were into 80's hits... the first MTV videos... but my parents played soul for us, in the car, in the house... Sam and Dave were revered names in our household, along with James Brown and Aretha Franklin. We did not appreciate it, but now we know better.

[@helgar791]

The best, the original, the best sung, the most soulful, and the most exciting version. Listen also to them doing the great "Hold On, I'm Coming". The earlier live, black and white version of this is far better than this one.

[@redrum482]

As a trumpet player, I LOVE this song and these brothas be killin' it.

[@stonecrazy]

I love that song! The Dynamic Duo! I think I love everything they did together! And Sam & Dave with Booker T & the MG's is an extra bonus!

[@reddevil3387]

Thanks for doing this one. I am old enough to remember when this first came out. My personal favorite from Sam and Dave is "Soothe Me". Listen to that one when you can.

[@philgrimsey3637]

Jamel_aka_jamal. Brother, you got a fan in the form of my 21 month old. Soon as he hears your voice, he looks around and as soon as the music starts, he is rocking out and dancing. Keep up the awesome videos man. We all love them

[@mikecaetano]

Everybody clap your hands for Sam & Dave! Right on!

[@musicgoddesskim8325]

HOLD ON I'M COMING by Sam & Dave.... OMG, genius. You CAN'T help but dance!!

[@brendabarnett9718]

Haven't heard this for years. Takes me back to my early teens.

[@michaelplowman8674]

Others have probably pointed out, but the guitarist in this song, is also the guitarist for The Blues Brothers. The Colonel Steve Cropper. He is a legendary song producer. He did many Otis Redding songs also. The Bassist is Donald "Duck" Dunn, also went to The Blues Brothers.

[@wessparkmon2395]

Sam & Dave were nicknamed "Double Dynamite" because of their stage shows, where they sang and danced the whole time and sweated buckets. On KZbin, there's a version of Hold On I'm Coming from a Stax/Volt tour in Europe in the 60s where you can tell how much they've been sweating already because it closes the show.

[@sbollin4321]

This just ruled...thank you Jamal!!

[@donnas2482]

Stax love forever! Didn’t matter what they put out, it hit you deep in your soul! Proud to be repping Memphis Soul!
