Brooklyn Academy
of Music’s "Winter Soul" program on Jan. 24 at 7:30
pm pairs soul legend Sam Moore with newcomer singer-guitarist
Raul Midon for a one-night-only performance that promises to
put R&B’s living history alongside its future.
Moore (pictured), 68, recorded hits such as "Hold On, I’m
Coming" and "Soul Man" while part of the Stax
Records duo Sam & Dave, with Dave Prater, as well as garnering
gold and platinum records and a 1967 Grammy for "Soul Man."
Sam & Dave were an inspiration for Dan Akroyd and John Belushi’s
Blues Brothers characters. (Prater was killed in a 1988 car accident
in Georgia.)
Tickets are $20 and $25 for the show at the BAM Howard Gilman
Opera House, 30 Lafayette Ave. at Ashland Place in Fort Greene.
