Sam Moore, who sang Soul Man and other 1960s hits in the legendary Sam &
Dave duo, has died aged 89.
Moore, who influenced musicians including Michael Jackson, Al Green and
Bruce Springsteen, died on Friday in Coral Gables, Florida, due to complications while recovering from surgery, his publicist Jeremy Westby
said.
No additional details were immediately available.
Moore was inducted with Dave Prater, who had died in a 1988 car crash,
into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992.
The duo, at the Memphis, Tennessee-based Stax Records, transformed the
"call and response" of gospel music into a frenzied stage show and
recorded some of soul music's most enduring hits, including Hold On, I'm Comin'.
