Sam & Dave singer’s electrifying artistry was revered by musicians ranging from Bruce Springsteen to Mariah CareySoul Man singer Sam Moore dies aged 89 from surgery complicationsSam Moore had put out a Christmas album in 1998, but it wasn’t until 2006 that he released his debut solo album proper. There was clearly something tongue-in-cheek about its title. Overnight Sensational arrived a quarter of a century after the duo he had formed with Dave Prater had finally broken up after decades of acrimony: before the split, Sam & Dave had not actually spoken to each other for 13 years, Moore horrified by a domestic incident in which Prater had shot and wounded his wife.That it took so long for one of the most lauded figures in 60s soul to release an album under his own name says something about the difficulties Moore faced in establishing himself as a solo artist.

It’s a cold night. But the frontman’s lack of nudity is pretty much the only key element missing from tonight’s ear-ringing encounter with the reunited US band, touring their late-career album Rack (2024).

Less of a singer than a sui generis declaimer, he smears misanthropic lyrics across the grain of Duane Denison...
