I heard this on the radio & couldn't believe it - always thought it was an Elvis original. Just like you, Danny, I was finally able to get all the words. "Simple as love is - how it confused me." Great
Wow what a version....where have I've been...listened to Elvis for over 30 years and just discovered the words and Sam Moore enuff said. This was singing...Sintara, Darin, Presley, etc.
The best version of this that I have ever heard was live on Jules Holland ...Later , last year. In my view, It was a perfect and relaxed all time best interpretation. does anyone have a link to it
I happen to think Elvis Costello had the best version of this song musically, but Sam & Dave had the best vocals. Now if we could some how mix the two together that would be absolute perfection.
Want more info on Sam Moore? Just click my name to get into my channel, then click on my website (it's listed right under my age and country). Normally I would just post the link right here but youtube doesn't allow that lol.
That's Booker T. & The MGs (sans the late, great Al Jackson) as the rhythm section. Great playing, great singing. Listen to Cropper's Tele - what a "sweet soul music" tone! He plays a Peavey nowadays, but I miss that Fender sound. I would guess this clip is from early to mid Eighties. Sam is one of the all time great soul singers, no doubt about it. Thanks for posting this great clip!
The Power of the deepest Southern Soul. Sam Moore is in his own class. Like Otis, he delivers every phrase and does not just sell the song, but delivers it. Mercy...
My God,what a voice i always love sam&dave but in the years he is stil great!!
thanks for sharing,

Lest not forget that Stax is one of Elvis's major influences - especially Booker T. and the M.G.s! :-)

I would like to see or HEAR Sam and Dave cover Elvis Costello. I'm sure it would be smashing.
