Album Notes
Sam & Dave: Sam Moore, Dave Prater (vocals).Producers include: Isaac Hayes.Recorded from 1965 to 1971.Personnel: Dave Prater, Sam Moore (vocals).Audio Remasterers: Dan Hersch; Bill Inglot.Unknown Contributor Role: Jimmy Guterman.Sam Moore and Dave Prather were the ultimate soul duo; one a high-voiced wailer, the other a low-toned blaster. They came together in the mid-'60s to form a superb duo, singing tunes penned by soul's finest writing tandem, Isaac Hayes and David Porter. They made a host of great singles before ego battles broke them apart. This 50-cut, two-disc anthology not only has every song of significance, but plenty of obscure worthwhile items, like a "Stay in School" promo, some overlooked material done with the Dixie Flyers, and a couple of numbers cut by Moore as a solo act in the early '70s. The sound quality, annotation, and song sequencing are as outstanding as the songs themselves. ~ Ron Wynn

Editorial Reviews
...this handsomely packaged 50-cut set digs deeper into the superlative duo's soul catalog, adding album tracks, four unreleased items, and a few of Sam's solo turns...in this case at least, more is more... - Rating: A
Entertainment Weekly (19930924)

...the most impressive thing about SWEAT 'N' SOUL is how [Sam & Dave's] fervor carries through to their less familiar output...
