Legendary singer Sam Moore of Sam & Dave duo with hit songs “Soul Man” and “Hold On, I’m Comin’” died on Friday, Jan. 10 at the age of 89, according to his publicist, as a result of complications from surgery.
Texas Metro News was on the scene when Moore was recognized on Feb. 19, 2018 as the Trailblazer Award Honoree during Nancy Lieberman Charities’ Dream Ball Gala. He sang several songs that night and started his performance set with the Negro National Anthem “Lift Every Voice.”
Moore is survived by his wife, Joyce, his daughter Michelle and two grandchildren.
