Double Dynamite Sam and Dave were known as but when they burst upon the soul scene in 1966 they had triple dynamite 45’s that set alight the dance floor at Manchester’s Twisted Wheel and all the other soul clubs in the UK.
They certainly were energetic - you can see the rare video footage of their act on the Otis Redding film when they appeared on the UK Stax Tour. It gives an impression of their stage act, which was packed with their superb dancing. This rate of feverish dancing style and arm swinging may have contributed to Dave Prater's early death (1988) due to heroin addiction (and a car crash).
Without doubt they inspired The Blues Brothers (another drug related tragedy with the death of John Beluishi).
Sam Moore still performs - a bit slower, more deliberate but still a great soul performer. Sam fell out with Dave and he did not speak to him for twelve years, after Dave shot his own wife in the face (she later recovered.)
