Sam and Dave were great.  They also hated the fuck out of each other.

Decades of touring and they entered the stage from opposite sides and never spoke a word to each other.

I was raised on 1960s and 1970s R&B, constantly playing in my parents' car.  Lots of great stuff on this thread.  

Props for Inner City Blues by Marvin.  Such a haunting intro from one of my top 5 favorite albums of all time.

The Four Tops still fuck.

 

And speaking of Marvin, Trouble Man is brilliant.

Great thread. Thanks, @elguapo.

Grew up on military bases around the U.S. and in Germany, where virtually every one of these songs was a staple on the radio and especially on the jukeboxes of the base snack bars. 

My first real job was at a snack bar, where a coworker, an older Korean woman, would use her daily breaks by pulling up next to the jukebox, lighting a cigarette, and puffing away while staring into the distance and listening to this song, practically spitting out a derisive "huh" two or three times with every play. Especially during the opening spoken portion. 

Day after day, week after week, for an entire summer I watched this routine. Not sure I've seen that level of fixation on a song since.
