Sam & Dave were an American soul & R&B duo who performed together from 1961-1981. Sam had the higher voice & Dave had the lower voice. They had lots of great songs such as "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" etc.

[@gregorystathos6085]

I Thank You, Wrap It Up are a must!!!

[@54nomore]

You must react to their monster hit "Soul Man" (1967). It was written by David Porter and Isaac Hayes. It went to number 2 on billboard's top 100.

[@vancelubben5300]

This was a great hit too

[@thedystopiandollhouse]

I'm kind of surprised it didn't take the number one spot. It's just such an iconic song.

[@robertzimmerman2513]

Listen for the guitar work also; it’s Steve Cropper!

[@BeHappy-cp4fv]

Since no one has mentioned it yet I have to give a shout out to John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd. They did a great job with this song too. They were so funny.

[@joannevincent2035]

Saw them (live!) in a small bar with a small stage in Pennsylvania, in the mid-60s. They tore down the house!

[@avidrdr5640]

Lucky you!

[@curtmarshall4522]

Lucky as shit!

[@kathleengarwood6920]

Wow lucky

[@douglasainsworth2448]

Yes it's a trumpet. And some fantastic old school Soul music.

[@user1952-e4g]

"Soul Man " is a must listen as well!. Please also do more of Sam Cooke for early 60s soul.

[@jamnjimmy4502]

You’re reaction’s to this song are SPOT ON. Sam & Dave are PHENOMENAL.

[@mikecaetano]

Nice! Al Jackson Jr. lays down the killer beats on this one. Booker T. & the M.G.'s were more or less the house band at Stax Records and they laid down some killer grooves back in the sixties including this one. Tasty! Five plus decades later and it still slays. When you're ready for more classics from Sam & Dave, check out "Soul Man", "You Don't Know Like I Know", and "I Thank You" along with many others.

[@tonyrussi7777]

that Memphis Sound of Stax Records, Booker T & the MGs are the rythmn section with the Mar-Keys on the horns.

[@tinypurplefishesrunlaughin8052]

Yeah buddy WDIA radio Memphis played it all

[@wendyt7958]

This song never gets old. I prefer this over Soul Man

[@bjlaws1158]

You are absolutely right!

[@vancelubben4527]

They are both equally great!!!

[@sherigrow6480]

I can't believe you finally got to Sam and Dave! Some really great music from them.

[@knuteboy3778]

The greatest soul duo of all time. No question. Also known as Double Dynamite. They did tours with Otis Redding, and they were one act that Otis did not want to follow. You have to check out some live clips of them. They were amazing.

[@mhayes3663]

Muscles Shoals sound: "They provided musical backing and arrangements for many recordings, including major hits by Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, and the Staple Singers; a wide range of artists in popular music also recorded hit songs and complete albums at the studio. Their initial successes in soul and R&B led to more mainstream rock and pop performers who began coming to record at Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, including the Rolling Stones, Traffic, Bob Seger, Elton John, Boz Scaggs, Willie Nelson, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Dr. Hook, Elkie Brooks, Millie Jackson, Julian Lennon, and Glenn Frey.

[@Mike-kv5pl]

They were great. Here are a couple more songs by them to check out: WRAP IT UP. I THANK YOU. SOUL MAN.

[@mamb70]

Another DYNAMIC DUO from the fabulous 60s.🔥😀🎵. Woohoo! Love this song, really dig there voices

[@bettysummers2175]

Love that good old soul music

[@827dusty]

Iconic R&B and Blues Duo from the 1960s. Not sure, but I think they were on the Motown Label. It doesn't matter, these two guys were the standard of cool back in those days. Great soul, and great music to dance to. This sure takes many of us back to our late teens and early 20s. Thanks

[@malingor7042]

@dusty827 they were not Motown. Most of their songs ( and the best) were on Stax based in Tennessee.

[@1bigrowdy]

@@malingor7042 Steve Cropper Duck Dunn and the Memphis Horns sweeeeett

[@folkblues4u]

Grew up listening to the music of my fathers generation. They really did have the best music.

[@christinalikoski4937]

Definitely soul music Pity we don't hear more soul music these days Another favourite 😍 Australia 💕 Christina

[@bakercarl8518]

Y'all are what the people want!! Personal favorite. Thank you new G"S!!!

[@flash1660]

Great song I love it you would love soul man by them and knock on wood by Eddie Floyd too !

[@ShadowHawk4219]

There is a reason why a good number of commercials use music from the 60's and 70's, some even from the 50's, the music was so good. Give a listen to one of the best soul shouters from back in the day, "Wicked" Wilson Pickett, namely " In The Midnight Hour" and " Bring It On Home To Me". Another one to review is The Godfather of Soul, James Brown. Listen to " I Can't Stand Myself (when you touch me)" and " The Payback", you won't go wrong. Keep the reviews coming guys.

[@psongman9536]

Yeah, this song was part of our soul set, like 54nomore stated, with Soul Man and Knock on Wood and In the Midnight Hour, but this one has a strong rhythm backing, and it can be done even if you use no horns, though they definitely help, thanks for reacting!

[@mdennis9496]

As powerful and soul filled this track is, the BIG SURPRISE were the musicians were all white! That ICONIC Muscle Scholes musicians along with Sam & Dave knocked this out of the park! AGAIN the point is GOOD MUSIC KNOWS NO COLOR!!!

[@patrickbuster8341]

I saw the Muscle Scholes and Motown documentaries. Is there a Stax one? Thank you.

[@ichiban308]

Steve Cropper and Donald Duck Dunn

[@rbffbvs]

I grew up on this music. So glad you enjoy it too!

[@JocelynHarris-dq3vu]

I love the line "if you get cold, I'll be your cover." Great song.

[@clarencedixon3290]

That sound is definitely soul yall listening to among others. The 60s is got that groove that you just can't sit down.

[@delisamarchetti5926]

This song reminds me of summer. I remember this song being played at the roller skating rink back in the 70's. when I was a teenager. It was fun watching the good skaters, dance to this song and do their tricks. They would really get into this song and skate backwards or do other difficult maneuvers. While skaters like me, hung on to the railing for dear life and watched. :) Thanks for the happy memory.

[@artfrank649]

I was in the U S Army in 1967 when this great song came out I was training at FT Bragg,N C to be a combat/Shoe repairman so putting soles on Army boots while singing this song all the Black dudes would sing this song and I would also join in Great times in my life

[@malinhead322]

This song has everything....and it still sounds great today.....thanks for playing

[@mrbigdaddym]

I’m not even joking around , this should be y’all’s theme song ! Y’all lift spirits and try to bring the party vibe with every reaction . ✌🏼♥️

[@seansimms6693]

Timeless, I was born in 1973 and this song has always been playing somewhere in my life all those years.

[@michaellazzeri2069]

CLASSIC MEMPHIS SOUL ! FROM EARLY '67, AS I NOW RECALL. LOVE THOSE HORNS !

[@skyblue9515]

Wow haven't heard this in years, what a great funk & groove!

[@olivierdk2]

They were inducted in the rock and roll hall of fame in 1992.

[@grannyshirt]

The coolest thimg about me is the fact that i played this on trumpet in high school.

[@rosemaryoutler2423]

I remember dancing to this at a sock hop, back in the day, when I was a teen Love this song so much!!!!!!!!

[@davidhutchinson5233]

My Father's music. Which in turn became my music. And I am forever thankful. Great reaction as always.

[@deneepowell7377]

[@cindyp1033]

[@waynebratton9813]

This true soul music,Sam and Dave were great and boy could they dance. Wayne from Canada

[@bartonone2005]

This song was written by Isaac Hayes and David Porter. It was recorded in 1966 at Stax Recording Studios with keyboard player Booker T. Jones, guitarist Steve Cropper, Al Jackson, Jr on drums and The Memphis/Mar-Key Horns. Knocked my socks off when I first heard this and it still does!!

[@toots19]

Another great tune around the same time was I Just Want to Testify by the Parliaments

[@valeriebecker5599]

All I CAN SAY IS THEY DON'T MAKE MUSIC LIKE THIS ANYMORE. SO GLAD 😊 THAT I GREW UP WITH MOTOWN AND SWEET SOUL MUSIC 🎶 SING ON SAM AND DAVE !

[@maajorkv]

That's pure Soul!!

[@sandrasandymanning4354]

[@elainekizanis1311]

Sam and Dave live Soul Man on the Midnight Special is one of the greatest ever!!!! Please play that video😀

[@nealcopeland9]

For some reason this song reminds me of my college days in the 90s...my broke up car could only pick up Tallahassee stations,lol great song!

[@unclesamjones]

Stax/Volt sweet and sour horns, Steve Cropper guitar Duck Dunne bass Sam & Dave vocals; solid gold.

[@darrellwheeler2625]

I loved this song tried listening to their 1969 hit I thank you

[@cdfdesantis699]

They always brought some serious soul.

[@TalkswithPop]

You folks ask you Grandma and Grandpa about Sam and Dave. They'll get a twinkle in their eye and you'll get an " oh yeah.." They were known for that wall of sound from all the brass instruments. And, C Lo Greens uncle is Dave This is food for your soul. Especially back when this song was "new". Very uplifting and powerful.

[@realcoolbreeze]

Haha. Can t even tell you how many times I danced to this song as a young man.😂It was 🔥 and all those great memories I had with it all come back. Was a super popular song in the late 60 s. 👍

[@ebonylocks9234]

1967. Stax was flat-out soul. Written by Isaac Hayes and David Porter. They wrote a lot of those Stax hits.

Check out Rainy Night in Georgia sung by Conway Twitty && Sam Moore in 1994 ( I think this was Conway Twittys last recording)- it ties with Brooke Benton’s oh so good version ! 💗💎 As well check Sam Moore with Mavis Staples honouring Al Green - singing Take Me To The River at the 2014 Kennedy Center Awards & Jennifer Hudson singing So Beautiful which she sang at the same Kennedy Center awards☮️🎶💜💎💎💎💎😻🇨🇦

[@benrodeheaver701]

The first time I heard this cut (1972) I knew they were ahead of their time. Just like James Brown and Aretha Franklin. I'm 65 and white too.

[@joe80ss]

Now this is my classic right there.

[@dougoverhoff7568]

This song played at every single one of our frat parties back in the day, at least once, if not several times, and even back to back! If you weren't dancin' that night, then you would be when this played.

[@regularsizeruss3874]

[@jimilemons3437]

You have just stumbled into ‘Soulsville USA’ - STAX records in Memphis, TN! Booker T & the MG’s, The Staples Singers, Isaac Hayes, David Parker, Rufus Thomas, the Memphis Horns, Otis Redding and so many more!

[@sarahdee374]

Hey Shawn & Mel, I love your reactions and openness to our older music. I was wondering if you'd enjoy occasionally introduce us to some current music, rap or hip hop etc that you really enjoy. Maybe let us know why you like the music and what you appreciate about the lyrics, maybe help us even hear them better? It dawned on me that this is kinda one way. I'm open to hearing and maybe gaining a deeper appreciation for some current music and artists that you value.

[@fancy4865]

Classic soul....

[@aaronstandingbear]

I became a teen in 1960 and being from Toronto close to Detroit and Chicago where Mo town originated we got all the soul as it was rolling out and when the Beatles and the English invasion happened in 64 we were more into black music than anything else. Dan Acroid is from Toronto and is the iconic Blues Brother with John Belushi. The border region of Canada and America was the test bed for Mo town music. It was on all the pop music stations of the time. First time I got really loaded on Black Velvet Rye Whisky was listening to Sam and Dave and singing at the top of our lungs to these legends. Now I'm 74 and it still makes me move. Soul Man next eh.

[@Guide1089]

Can't go wrong with Sam n Dave!

[@SRG1966]

Leap down this rabbit hole!
