were principal pioneers and architects of golden era American soul music in the 60s and 70s. Their seminal recordings for Stax and

Rating:  - GREAT MUSIC!
Anyone who enjoys the Motown sound needs to have the CD as part of their collection. My husband love the harmony and the music. Just outstanding!
Rating:  - So Very Close To Being A Complete "Very Best Of"
This 1995 release from Rhino comes so very very close to being a complete "very best of" anthology, giving us 12 of the 13 Billboard Pop Hot 100 singles the duo registered from 1966 to 1969 for the Stax and Atlantic labels.

They really define the 'gospel' based side of RnB which is called, of course, Soul Music. The intense vocal theatrics they exude are truly astonishing. And even better this cd has all of the original singles not the ones that were re-sung by the duo, which still sounded good but were no where near as intense and raw as the originals. The remastering is excellent, ... Read More
Rating: - Southern fried soul! SIZZLIN'
there was some footage and stuff about these two guys on Soul Deep, the program that followed the evoloution of soul music.
One show was on the Southern Soul sensation and Staxx records.
Basically, Sam and Dave were components, along with Otis, Wilson Pickett and others, that put the raw, unpolished, and dirty sound of Memphis on the map. The band to give em all the rough and sharp edge was Booker T and the MG's. Steve Cropper has become something of a Legend to me over the last few informative ... Read More
