Sam & Dave were the great Rhythm and Blues duo of Sam Moore and Dave Prater. Sadly, Dave was killed in a car crash on April 9, 1988 at the age of 50. In the three short years from 1966 to 1969, they had 13 singles on the Billboard Chart. Two songs reached the Top Ten and those same two went Gold as well.
In 1992 they were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame, and very well deserved. Along with Otis Redding, the Bar-Kays, the Staple Singers, Sam & Dave were the sound of Stax Records.
