Sam & Dave - 1979-10-27 - Trax, New York, NY (FM)

According to their rock & roll hall of fame bio, Sam & Dave (Sam Moore & Dave Prater) were the most successful soul duo in music history and brought the sounds of the black gospel church to pop music with their call-and-response records. In the 1960s, primarily recording at Stax Records in Memphis, they produced a string of soul classics including 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, and of course, Soul Man, a tune that climbed all the way to #2 on the Billboard charts.  While the duo has their ups an downs in the early 1970s, including splitting up at one point, they saw a resurgence in interest in their music in 1979, after John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, in their Blues Brother's personas released a cover version of Soul Man.  This FM broadcast captures Sam and Dave that very year, performing at Trax in New York City, on October 27, 1979, 39 years ago today.  By the way, as part of their 1979 comeback tour, they even led in for The Clash at several shows!
