This ain't Motown, my friend, this is Stax Records out of Memphis, TN. That's why he called out to Steve Cropper (you're right, I think: that wouldn't happen on a Motown recording). Sam and Dave were "loaned" to record with Stax by Atlantic Records and had their biggest hits with Stax.
Steve Cropper and Donald "Duck" Dunn were not anonymous to those in the know, btw. They were Stax's studio musicians and were members of Booker T. and the MGs (Biggest hit was "Green Onions"). Booker T. Jones was also a Stax house musician. I know Steve and Duck were in the movie "Blues Brothers"; not sure about Booker.
Stax had a rougher, bluesier sound than Motown. Isaac Hayes became their biggest talent after Otis Redding died and Atlantic ended its distribution contract with Stax and claimed the rights to all of Stax's 1960-67, moves that deprived Stax of revenue from its very successful back catalog.
There's a great documentary about Stax available on PBS and YouTube...
very cool. i didn't know all this.
i did, though, meet steve cropper in lexington, ky at an event for the non-profit i was working for at the time. he was very pleasant.

And, in fairness, I am pretty sure that John and Dan would be the first to agree with that. The Blues Brothers was as much a celebration of the music and artists as it was a performance.

Oh dear.... I've been singing along with the words "I was educated at Woodstock" my entire life. It finally occurred to me that this song was written before the event. Thanks for posting the proper lyrics, Bill and Rebecca!

Probably one of my top 5 favorite Mondegreens is when someone told me they thought Sam & Dave were singing "I'm a slow man."
That's what I'm talking about!!!
I wouldn't mind if that was one of the songs they play when I snuff it.
Thanks for playing, don't think I knew that version.

I was just thinking how odd that callout to the guitar player is for a Motown song. The incredible backing bands on those Motown records were always treated as so anonymous. I'm surprised they didn't do a re-take after reprimanding Sam (or was it Dave) for "breaking the fourth wall," as it were. Even so, it was decades after the song came out that I even found out who "Steve" was.
And yes, he could play it!

Perhaps, but the vocals on that version are nowhere near as soulful or funky as those of this original. It's pretty much the same band on both recordings - to me, this has more "feeling" than the later recording.
I prefer the Blues Brothers cover. The recording quality and the band performance are much better than the original.

Yeah, that movie was pretty bad, but there were many which were far worse - "Ishtar" comes to mind. Anyhow, this classic came out almost twenty years before that clunker.
"The Color of Night" and "Natural Born Killers" both came out in '94 and almost caused the sun to go supernova, they were so bad. It was fun to see Jane March nude in "Color" but most of the audience was laughing 2/3 of the way through and it was not a comedy.
This version of "Soul Man" just isn't as good as the one that gets more airplay. Sounds like an out-take.

Prefer their original 45 version - the backing had more soul/funk - but it sure brings back the memories of some great times in the black clubs in the ports of the Gulf of Mexico in the late sixties. As young English seamen we were welcomed royally and never had a moments trouble. A great anecdote which I cannot vouch for, but did hear it said more than once, was that Sam and Dave couldn't stand each other and never spoke to each other!! ![{#Roflol} {#Roflol}](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/icon_roflol.gif)

Boogie music! Horns and everything! (Composer Issac Hayes before his gig on South Park.)
The very best music of its kind. That any of us took Belushi seriously as a frontman for an R and B group is a testiment to how badly he wanted to be one. "I hate Illinois Nazis!"

This is the only REAL version of this tune. Love Sam & Dave...I'm kinda tiring of it actually....
This one and Hold on I'm Comin' were two greats by Sam and Dave.
..Play it Steve!
Can't hear this without smiling. There should be more things in life that elicit that kind of response.
First time I heard "soul music" was as a country bumkin attending The Cheeta in NYC. Never forget the impact. Music was never the same :-)
Thank you, thank you, thank you for playing this instead of the fun, but inexplicably more frequently played, Blues Brothers cover.
This might just be my all-time favorite.

Early in the BB movie, there is a closeup shot of a BB-hand putting a cassette of Sam & Dave (I think it was a "Best of") in their car stereo, and the next scene has S&D music.
That brief closeup was there as a small tribute to Sam & Dave, a little "I thank you" from the BB.
(Yes, I've seen that movie many, many times)
I agree with the tribute idea, but I'm pretty sure it was a close-up of an 8-track. ;)

Having said that, Sam & Dave's music is a little "rough around the edges". That's partly because it's about 40 years old now, but I think it's also because it was never intended to be slick and smooth. It's simple, pure, emotional and fun.
Glad to see some real/old soul on RP these days. A few years ago there was very little.

Consider that it was recorded in one take with a four track analog machine and sparsely miked .. well, comparing this version to that of the Blues Brothers with Paul leading the show -- like trying to criticize some of Edison's early efforts like the Jubilee Singers of 1914.

Too bad - it is a classic. Wiki says it was written by Isaac Hayes and David Porter.
