Re: Sam & Dave

Sam & Dave were some of the first soul music I remember hearing, back when I was a kid. My mother had an old greatest hits cassette (coincidentally the exact same cassette they play during the mall chase in "Blues Brothers"), and I think I loved it from the first time I heard it. They're still high among my favorites, just all-around incredible...great instrumentation, both great, soulful vocalists and the interplay between them is amazing. The other Sam & Dave memory from my childhood is that when I told a friend of mine about them, he thought the name sounded like a hillbilly band (it sorta does, actually) and every time I mentioned it he'd go (in hillbilly voice) "My name's Sam, and this here's Dave!" How far from the truth...
