Here's another record I thought did much better at the time, though it was a #1 R&B hit. These guys had one previous R&B Top 10, but this put them on the map nationally. Sam Moore and Dave Prater met while living in Miami, moved to Memphis and Stax Records, and made it big. The stress of success soon got to them - they wound up taking separate cars to their gigs, each had an entourage and they didn't speak to each other offstage for over a decade. Guess that can be the price of fame if you let it. A personal fave.
Sam and Dave - Hold On, I'm Comin'
