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. This FM broadcast captures the duo in Sweden on May 2, 1967, 52 years ago today, as part of the Hit the Road Stax Tour in Europe, which included Booker T & the MGs, The Mar-Keys, Eddie Floyd, Carla Thomas, Arthur Conley and headliner Otis Redding. According to legend, although Redding headlined the tour, many agreed Sam & Dave stole the show on many nights.
Per Phil Walden, who managed both acts, Redding refused to be booked on the same bill with Sam & Dave again, not wanting to have to follow their explosive act.

Love this!!!
Yeah, they were a tough act to follow. On the other hand, none other than Peter Gabriel and Bob Dylan have been quoted as saying Otis Redding put on the bet show they ever attended.
Thank you
