Singer Sam Moore, who performed as one half of the Grammy-winning R&B duo Sam & Dave, has died at the age of 89.
Moore passed away in Coral Gables, Florida after suffering complications from a surgery.
The hitmaker was known for his ’60s-era chart toppers Soul Man, I Thank You, and Hold On I’m Coming.
He first showed a talent for music while singing in church, and later became the MC at King O’ Hearts Club in Miami.
It was there where he met Dave Prater, who would become his bandmate, and with whom he would go on to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1992.
