February 18, 2016 - Sam & Dave - Soul Man (1967)


"Coming to you on a dusty road..." Classic opening line. Great vocals, Sam sings the first verse and Dave sings the second, so you can tell them apart throughout the song. The music is provided by the great Booker T and the MG's and the Mar-Keys horns. Steve Cropper's guitar is awesome, that main riff has such a cool vibe. Rest of the guys are great too.

I most likely first heard the Blues Brothers do this song on SNL, since I would have been 11 and not yet buying records or paying close attention to who sang what on the radio.
