Sam Moore is an American rhythm and blues singer best known for his work in the soul duo Sam & Dave.
Moore and David Prater were veterans of gospel music groups The Melionaires and The Sensational Hummingbirds. They met in The King of Hearts Club in Miami in 1961, signing to Roulette Records before being signed by Jerry Wexler to Atlantic Records in 1965, then being ‘loaned’ like many other soul acts of the time to Stax Records.
The duo’s 1966 debut, “You Don’t Know Like I Know,” started a series of Top Ten soul hits that included “Hold On! I’m Comin’” (1966), “You Got Me Hummin’ (1966), “When Something Is Wrong with My Baby” (1967), “Soul Man” (1967), and “I Thank You” (1968). Most of their hits were penned by Isaac Hayes and Dave Porter.
