Hold On, I'm Comin'

Performer: Sam & Dave

Distributor: Gotham Distributing Corp.

Notes: As the premier '60s R&B vocal duo, Sam Moore and Dave Prater first caught the public's attention with their Stax/Volt debut HOLD ON, I'M COMIN'. Teamed with songwriters Isaac Hayes and David Porter, along with label house musicians like Booker T. & The MG'S and The Bar-Kays, this Floridian duo reaped the benefits of these rich musical resources. Masters of call-and-response thanks to their church background, Sam and Dave readily employ their considerable talents on the hugely successful, smash title track, the scolding "It's A Wonder," and the tasty nugget "You Don't Know Like I Know." Their achingly beautiful harmonies and their gospel-trained style are apparent on the sanctified "I Got Everything I Need," the robust "Ease Me," and on "It's A Wonder," with its punchy horn arrangements and march-like cadence. With its familiar themes based around the ups and downs of love, HOLD ON, I'M COMIN' is equal parts passion, heartbreak, and humility.

The definitive '60s soul duo, Sam & Dave had both top-flight songs and one of the world's funkiest and most supple backing bands. The high-energy soulfulness of their performances has been copied by just about every bar band in the country, but never equaled. Their signature tunes "Hold On I'm Comin'," and "Soul Man" are part of R&B history.
