“We wanted to get them jumping up and down like they do at church. We believed in that, because we had nothing else but that…”

Farewell soul giant, Stax legend Sam Moore - one-half of the immortal Sam & Dave.

2/2 and their signature call-and-response delivery resulted in such classics as “Soul Man,” “Hold On, I’m Comin,” “I Thank You,” and more. Following Sam & Dave, Moore added his unmistakable tenor vocal to recordings by the likes of Don Henley, Lou Reed, and Bruce Springsteen.

The great #SamMoore has left us. Amazing in so many ways - among the most impressive, he was the original Soul Man! Here’s our visit with him as Soul Man was made part of the collection at the Library of Congress.

I am compelled to take a brief pause from our emergency response to the catastrophic fires in Los Angeles to pay homage to the memory of my dear friend Sam Moore. Sam, the original Soul Man, will be remembered for his exceptional humanity, remarkable talent, and generous spirit. We are grateful for the gift of his life. It was my highest honor to induct Sam into the alumni hall of fame and reciprocally be inducted as an honorary Soul man by Sam himself. My thoughts are with Sam's cherished partner and wife Joyce. With love and appreciation. #sammoore.

[Steve Martin @UnrealBluegrass]

In mid 2014 Sam Moore crossed into the world of bluegrass.
I took that as an opportunity to collect his wisdom on Steve Martin's Unreal Bluegrass.
Before we started I told him to forgive me but I'd have to talk about Sam and Dave as well as his Bluegrass song.
So we did.
Live on the air.
These are the moments I cherish.
The interview portion of that show is on the Archive of my website https://t.co/7yknt5PdsH under M .
I was beyond excited.
When we finished I called a friend to tell him I had just been talking to THE Soul Man.
Legend.
Thanks Sam Moore.
Rest well.
