Remembering Sam Moore 1935-2025

Singer Sam Moore has died at 89. He was a true soul legend. First he was one-half of the duo Sam & Dave. They had a ton of hits notably "Soul Man", later revived by The Blues Brothers. Sam & Dave did some covers of their own including "Under the Boardwalk" and The Beatles' "We Can Work It Out".

After the duo split, Moore did a lot of collaborations including Don Henley on "You're Not Drinking Enough", a remake of "Soul Man" with Lou Reed for the movie Soul Man, Bruce Springsteen on the Human Touch album and also on his Only the Strong Survive covers album, and Sting on his Duets album. He did some solo albums and had no problem getting superstars to join him.

Possibly my favorite thing he did was when he played Billy Diamond, a part of the soul duo The Swanky Modes in the 1988 cult film Tapeheads. Moore and Junior Walker actually sang their songs including the show-stopping "Ordinary Man"!

I quote that song quite often, "any ordinary man would've given it up by now"!

Remembering James Earl Jones 1931-2024

Sad news today that actor James Earl Jones has died at 93. He had a 60+ year in entertainment. He was an EGOT too!

He will forever be known as the voice of Darth Vader in the Star Wars movies. George Lucas wanted David Prowse (who died in 2020) to do the physical performance and Jones to be the powerful voice of the greatest villain in movie history. That's his iconic voice as Vader in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, The Star Wars Holiday Special (got my bootleg DVD!), Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back, Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, on 5 episodes of Star Wars: Rebels, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker, and on the 2022 series Obi-Wan Kenobi. He was uncredited for the first two films and credited thereafter once everyone knew who it was. To say he was a tremendous part of the character and the Star Wars Universe would be a colossal understatement.

Other notable performances included Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, Roots: The Next Generations, Soul Man, Matewan, the King in Coming to America (and it's lesser sequel I got to review in 2021), Field of Dreams, The Hunt for Red October, a cameo in Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult, the underrated Clean Slate, as the voice of Mufasa in the animated The Lion King and the live action The Lion King.
