Sam Moore, "Soul Man" of Sam and Dave, Dead at 89
Briefly

"As a solo act, Moore lived in the shadows of Sam and Dave; Prater hired Sam Daniels so he could continue some version of the 'Sam and Dave' act, limiting Moore's opportunities as a solo artist."
"The Blues Brothers performed a cover of 'Soul Man' on SNL in 1978, reigniting interest in the song; another resurgence came when Nickelodeon's Drake and Josh covered the song on their show."
"Moore explained his reasoning for performing at the inauguration of President Donald Trump in 2017 as a way to unify the country: 'I honestly believe that if we can accomplish this, the best is yet to come.'"
