forget simon and that other guy, these two still blow my mind!!! if you can show me anyone who put this much into a performance then i stand corrected, u just dont get this much effort these days, its all about some bullshit video and exploitation!!!! wear this, say this, do this, go there!!!! its a shame for the kids that they dont have anythin as good as this to learn from without serious research or education!!!!! RANT OVER!!!!
The MG's had to rent those Marshall amps in every country they went to in Europe on that tour. They were terrified those amps wouldn't perform as good as the Fender amps they were used to back home. Marshall amps were built for hard rock bands like The Who and Jimi Hendrix. They weren't built for soul musicians. Turns out Duck Dunn and Steve Cropper were more than satisfied with those amps. Great job, Jim Marshall. Steve Cropper thanks you!!
Berry Gordy created Motown in part with the explicit desire to sell records not only to black people and the R&B audience, but to everyone else, too... hence the slogan "The Sound of Young America"... Stax, on the other hand, was meant as a hard R&B label, and stayed true to its roots in the black community, and didn't pander to cross-over audiences as Motown did. Motown was silky smooth, Stax was tough, gritty and funky. Both produced some of the greatest soul music ever.
@GeorgiaBoy1961 I agree both labels produced great music. Motown was just as true to its Black roots as Stax. The artist were as soulful as anybody at Stax. Most of them came from the south or had parents from south and had same gospel training. Motown did have a more polished sound as did Chicago soul & Philly soul. Upon leaving the south and going "up north", most wanted a little of that polish and big city sophistication and that was reflected in the music.
This brings back me memories of seeing Sam and Dave live - what an amazing act they were! They about brought the house down. I wish they'd done more ballads, because the studio version of this tune is one of the best ballads ever done on the Stax label, and that's saying something! And to top it off, Sam Moore and David Prater didn't even much like one another off-stage!
seen an artist on stage who didnt sweat but when i watch this i notice them dripping with sweat.. the difference between todays music n bk then.. they tried bk then n now days ppl use auto-tune n are fake -_-..I., dont even bother trying..
See how they're taking this song slow and deliberate, letting its emotions play out? Young "artists" never equal this because they put nothing on the line when they perform today. They're all fluff, surface, ca$h, bling, and grabbing yo crotch.
In the words of the writer Henry Miller: "There was as much fucking going on back then as there is today, but back then it had a little more heart, you know?"
If i had to pick one type pf music n listen to only that and nothing else for the rest of my life I would pick rare hard to find underground oldies n I'd be good
give a listen to michael grimm (winner of america's got talent) with nikki logan, with their version!!...he's keeping old soul alive!...(otis, ray, percy, sam & dave, al green, etc.) love this mississippi boy's voice (and nikki's, too)...
does it matter about creed or colour?? NO!!! what matters is that these guys (Stax/Mowtown) had soul and are all responsible for producing a genre in music that is truly organic and timeless and will still be playing for generations to come!! Respect to them all!
@BlacknesUnforgivable Your opinion. I'll take Stax any day. You would be surprised who owned Motown. You're talking out the side of your next and obviously no little about Black (your) music. Who owned Atlantic, Impulse, Chess, CTI, King, Federal, Decca, Polydor on and on....What's my point?????
@laidyeh Berry gordy did at first but sold out to corporations. Now I don't know who owns it, its no longer a private company...Boys II Men was the last great group I remember to come from them...
@pbarrigher Thanks for sharing...Thought it was owned by Jherald Busby...Just goes to show you, you think you know, and you really don't know squat...Again thanks for sharing...

Fantastic WoW They don't make songs like this anymore oops i am showing my age hahaha Thanks so much you made my day God Bless KTF Love And Peace from canada Your friend Tustles
anyone that loves this song (as i do) should check out Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham version, absolutely incredible, do yourselves a favour and take 3 mins out of you time to listen to it.
OMG! This is the magic of soul! At 1:30 the singing and playing is as personally wild and crazy as it could ever be - and then snap! .... at 1:40 the harmony is perfectly executed over an absolutely tight band accompaniment. These guys were the best!
you don't have to criticize someone else in order to compliment, however these guys were spectacular and it is rare to find real, true talent anymore. the only person on par with this is michael grimm.
you woulnd't appreciate much of the tunes of the past era of soul music unless you've been in that kind of moods and understand the essence of the songs..really its all deep and penetrating..stoneybert08
Yes, above all the Sam & Dave songs, this is the one that gets me, too. The sound of the Hammond B3 organ, and the on-off use of the Leslie cabinet is just incredible. To me, that is the essence of 60s Soul Music.
Greatest Soul Duo ever. And the Stax session band, the MGs, are the greatest backing group ever. That's Donald "Duck" Dunn on bass next to Steve Cropper, the same Steve Cropper who co-wrote and produced "Sittin On The Dock of the Bay." Good Lord!
I've seen a DVD commentary of this with Steve Cropper and one of the Horn Players , Cropper said Sam Moore was way too energetic (a polite way to say egotistical/annoying). He said that Dave Prater was a really nice guy off the stage and made people laugh.
I don't remember Steve or Wayne Jackson saying Sam was "way too energetic" on the commentary part of the Stax/Volt Revue DVD, but they did sound like they liked Dave better than they did Sam. Like Steve said something about Dave being a great guy with a really good heart despite his issues and Wayne would agree, but then they would quickly state that Sam was/is a good guy too but just in a different way...but the way they said it sounded forced and like they were trying to cover their asses IMO.
Wrong! The b.s. story that sam & his wife cooked up after Dave died was that sam SUPPOSEDLY stopped speaking to Dave around '69/'70 because Dave accidently shot his girlfriend (she later became his second wife). That b.s. story is totally laughable considering how utterly disrespectful & disgusting sam moore treated women...so sam SUPPOSEDLY had the audacity to be upset with Dave over a situation that had nothing to do with him & that he knew nothing about?...YEAH RIGHT! TOTAL B.S.!
Thanks for setting the record straight. I have seen Sam on some interviews in the last few years and was not impressed. Your account sounds very plausible.
There are so many lies & exaggerations out there surrounding the Sam & Dave story that I can understand why you had your facts mixed up, MusicalLyrica. Sad thing is most of the lies were started & perpetrated by Sam & his wife AFTER Dave died. I guess sam's wife came up with the PR move to make him look like a great guy by demonizing Dave (too bad Sam keeps putting his foot in his mouth though lol). Gladly, a lot of fans are FINALLY starting to see through the B.S. so Dave can truly R.I.P. Later
There is something that some people can do at the exclusion of all others. There is a natural mystical vibration flowing out of these two great musicians. This magic is a force that gets inside of people so that when we feel it we recognise that we are in the presence of greatness, an excellent delivery by the true masters.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It's my blog, and it's "dedicated to hate" on sam's LIES-not "the man." Don't let the title of my blog fool you, I DON'T REALLY HATE SAM MOORE (it's just poetic license and it gets folks curious enough to click the link and check out the blog...it seemed to have worked on you). My blog is basically dedicated to opening up people's minds to the fact that everything sam moore says is not the truth and the gospel of sam & Dave like most people think...it's just one contradictory side to the story
This, for me, is the greatest song of all time for me. perhaps not this version, but rather the one pat la belle smashed in the 1960s...listen to the way they say the stanzas...'something is wrong with my baby...."People sing even without saying the words...it's the spirit they put in the lyrics...what has modernity done to music?
what is this song about? When you love your woman with all your heart, her problems are your problems, her pain is your pain, just like her happiness is your happiness.
I hear ya garytraynor....For a singer that you wouldn't normally associate with 'Soul' the version at Symhpny Hall last week was one the best versions I've ever heard! :)
While I certainly miss having LP covers to enjoy and study like a child's morning cereal box with possibly over-the-top intensity, simpler times are sadly over cuz Pandora's Box is open and can't close ie big music biz. However technology takes away and gives back and recording is easier so what is now a niche market music is more vigorous than ever. Try searching. You might start with related videos may I suggest Frankie Miller doing this song?
williams. it is true remember when you went to the record store? and all the albums were lined up, shiny with art and photos that just made you smile. now we have leeetle teensy tiny itsy bitsy leetle..discs. I don't need a 300 disc cd changer, in my 50,000dollar truck that I can't drive because of..OIL?
I need a big vinyl record, with well thought out tunes full of life and love. and that is an amen back to you. In the words of Thunderclap Newman.."we have got to get it together, now".
looking around youtube, on another sam and dave song, a comment was made what a shame we have become, when we give promenance to miley cyrus...and that the younger ones think that miss slut of the month Spears, can sing. We are so concerned with illusion, that we have forgotten what is real. This is going to turn around!! And tho we may never see the pureness of soul, like THIS Sam and Dave, again..I have to say, I want to go back to when times were simpler..and I just may get my wish!
@ranchroper1974 Times weren't really all that simple then, either. I f you don't believe me, & you haven't done so, talk to some of the old timers (black & white) & see how hard it was just to get by back then. This present generation takes many things for granted or as some kind of privilege...
@909kong I am one of the old timers...lol..and you are right there has always been financial struggles. buy ya know, it was a simpler time..you didn't have to be home until the street lights came on..and we used to watch the Wonderful World of Disney, on Sundays, and Mutual of Omahas Wild Kingdom..ok, ok..I tell ya I would go back in a heart beat to hear this music..live one more time.
peace to you 909kong..not disin' you..at all. Hard work always pays off...have a great night.
@ranchroper1974 i hear u and when something is wrong with my baby it has always been one of my favorite song, damn this is good music. this was real shit here
@ranchroper1974 Music always moves forward and soul always seeps through. Mozart, to Django and Charlie Christian, to Charlie Parker Muddy Waters and Buddy Guy, to Hendrix SRV Clapton, and it keeps going. Those souls will come around again and soul will prevail and conquer this fake scene.... especially if I have anything to say about it....
I gotta think that the Duck, and Cropper loved the Blues brothers...loved the fun, the energy, they had already worked with the best, had that joy tucked inside their souls, and a little light hearted spooof, suited them just fine...and the money was good, too.
Everybody's got there opinions but damn Jackwe10 u should take that back.. better than SAM cooke??u should go to an ear doctor. plus otis murdered this song anyway..
Does anyone know what Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn really thought about going from backing legends like Otis Redding and Sam&Dave to backing posers like Belushi and Aykroyd?
why are they posers? huh? just because they're white? just because they have a movie? none of that stuff should matter. all that really matters is that they love the music enough to play it in front of millions of people. and if james brown, ray charles, aretha franklin, and cab calloway agreed to participate in that music and agree that they are not posers, i don't understand why you should see any different.
I wouldn't call Belushi and Akroyd posers, just great comedians who had enough success and clout to make a 2nd career out of their hobby. They did give great exposure to some legends, but they cannot be mentioned in the same breath musically with Sam & Dave, Franklin, JB, Calloway & Ray Charles. They are (were) great comedians mediocre musicians.

Back then people had to know how to sing not just want to sing. This song had meaning a feeling and real musicians playing real instruments.
If you like this, you should rent Only the Strong Survive in which Sam sings this song solo, which was written by Isaac Hayes by the way.
Since this is a slow song, 3:07 is not long enough. Sam's solo version is a little longer and it is so great.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
It's my blog, and it's "dedicated to hate" on sam's LIES-not "the man." Don't let the title of my blog fool you, I DON'T REALLY HATE SAM MOORE (it's just poetic license and it gets folks curious enough to click the link and check out the blog...it seemed to have worked on you). My blog is basically dedicated to opening up people's minds to the fact that everything sam moore says is not the truth and the gospel of sam & Dave like most people think...it's just one contradictory side to the story

This, for me, is the greatest song of all time for me. perhaps not this version, but rather the one pat la belle smashed in the 1960s...listen to the way they say the stanzas...'something is wrong with my baby...."People sing even without saying the words...it's the spirit they put in the lyrics...what has modernity done to music?

While I certainly miss having LP covers to enjoy and study like a child's morning cereal box with possibly over-the-top intensity, simpler times are sadly over cuz Pandora's Box is open and can't close ie big music biz. However technology takes away and gives back and recording is easier so what is now a niche market music is more vigorous than ever. Try searching. You might start with related videos may I suggest Frankie Miller doing this song?

williams. it is true remember when you went to the record store? and all the albums were lined up, shiny with art and photos that just made you smile. now we have leeetle teensy tiny itsy bitsy leetle..discs. I don't need a 300 disc cd changer, in my 50,000dollar truck that I can't drive because of..OIL?
I need a big vinyl record, with well thought out tunes full of life and love. and that is an amen back to you. In the words of Thunderclap Newman.."we have got to get it together, now".

looking around youtube, on another sam and dave song, a comment was made what a shame we have become, when we give promenance to miley cyrus...and that the younger ones think that miss slut of the month Spears, can sing. We are so concerned with illusion, that we have forgotten what is real. This is going to turn around!! And tho we may never see the pureness of soul, like THIS Sam and Dave, again..I have to say, I want to go back to when times were simpler..and I just may get my wish!

@ranchroper1974 Times weren't really all that simple then, either. I f you don't believe me, & you haven't done so, talk to some of the old timers (black & white) & see how hard it was just to get by back then. This present generation takes many things for granted or as some kind of privilege...

@909kong I am one of the old timers...lol..and you are right there has always been financial struggles. buy ya know, it was a simpler time..you didn't have to be home until the street lights came on..and we used to watch the Wonderful World of Disney, on Sundays, and Mutual of Omahas Wild Kingdom..ok, ok..I tell ya I would go back in a heart beat to hear this music..live one more time.
peace to you 909kong..not disin' you..at all. Hard work always pays off...have a great night.

@ranchroper1974 Music always moves forward and soul always seeps through. Mozart, to Django and Charlie Christian, to Charlie Parker Muddy Waters and Buddy Guy, to Hendrix SRV Clapton, and it keeps going. Those souls will come around again and soul will prevail and conquer this fake scene.... especially if I have anything to say about it....

I gotta think that the Duck, and Cropper loved the Blues brothers...loved the fun, the energy, they had already worked with the best, had that joy tucked inside their souls, and a little light hearted spooof, suited them just fine...and the money was good, too.
Love them.

Does anyone know what Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn really thought about going from backing legends like Otis Redding and Sam&Dave to backing posers like Belushi and Aykroyd?
andyinoregon 3 years ago
I don't think they would have a problem with it - the movie allowed millions more to be exposed to artists like Sam & Dave and Otis
Cletusville 3 years ago 3
why are they posers? huh? just because they're white? just because they have a movie? none of that stuff should matter. all that really matters is that they love the music enough to play it in front of millions of people. and if james brown, ray charles, aretha franklin, and cab calloway agreed to participate in that music and agree that they are not posers, i don't understand why you should see any different.
daviddet 3 years ago
I wouldn't call Belushi and Akroyd posers, just great comedians who had enough success and clout to make a 2nd career out of their hobby. They did give great exposure to some legends, but they cannot be mentioned in the same breath musically with Sam & Dave, Franklin, JB, Calloway & Ray Charles. They are (were) great comedians mediocre musicians.
