Sam & Dave - The Original Soul Men 1967-1980 DVD

SAM & DAVE, two of the most influential and secular soul performers of the 60s, paved the way for R&B performers and were the backbone to one of the greatest moments in Pop television history. Hit makers for the Stax record label, they generated a series of Top Ten R&B hits including You Dont Know Like I Know, You Got Me Hummin, and Soul Man, upon which all are featured in this performance DVD, the first of its kind for Sam & Dave. With unreleased footage from European television shows to the night The Blues Brothers on Saturday Night Live immortalized the song Soul Man, this DVD highlights the sheer talent and infectious live performances of this soul duo. The DVD also features extensive interviews with Al Bell (former Chairman of Stax Records), Duck Dunn (Booker T & the MGs bassist), Dan Aykroyd (SNL, The Blues Brothers), Paul Shaffer (Late Night with David Letterman) and Sam Moore (the surviving member of the famed duo).

The story of R&B legends Sam & Dave is littered with incredible musical achievements. This two-hour documentary on the duo allows figures such as Stax founder Al Bell and actor Dan Aykroyd to reflect on the sizable influence the duo cast over the music scene. Also included are some vintage performances of classic tracks such as "Soul Man" and "I Take What I Want."
