Sam & Dave, veterans of the gospel groups The Melionaires and The Sensational Hummingbirds, were an American soul duo.
Most of their hits were penned by Isaac Hayes and Dave Porter . In most recordings they were backed by Hayes on piano with Booker T. & The M.G.’s and the Memphis Horns.
Samuel David Moore (b. October 12, 1935, Miami, Florida), David Prater (b. May 9, 1937, Ocilla, Georgia,- d. April 9, 1988) in Sycamore, Georgia, are American Soul and Rhythm & Blues (R&B) singers who were members of the soul vocal duo Sam & Dave. They recorded and performed together from 1961 through 1981; Sam Moore was the tenor (higher) vocalist and Dave Prater was the baritone/tenor (lower) vocalist.
Sam & Dave are members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Grammy Award and multi-Gold Record award winning artists, and are the most successful and critically acclaimed duo in Soul Music history. Their recordings were largely responsible for bringing the sounds, feelings, energy and spontaneity of southern black gospel church music to both Pop and R&B audiences, by integrating elements of call-and-response gospel music within popular music song structures, and utilizing a fully electric rhythm section, horns and keyboards. Their style of music, often labeled as Southern Soul and described as a more raw, unpolished and live sound than the Soul style typlified by Motown Records, emerged from the Deep South in the Mid-1960’s and was popularized by Sam & Dave and other contemporaries including Otis Redding
