Listen\/Download – Sam and Dave – May I Baby MP3<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Greetings all.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stax-week continues with a lesser-heard side from the mighty Sam and Dave.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you stop by here on the reg, you\u2019ve probably heard me raving about Misters Moore and Prater<\/strong>, especially Sam, who I consider among the first rank of soul singers from the classic era.<\/p>\n

\u2018May I Baby\u2019 was tacked onto the flip side of the duo\u2019s monster 1967 hit \u2018Soul Man\u2019, their second Number One hit.<\/p>\n

Written and produced by Isaac Hayes and David Porter,<\/strong> \u2018May I Baby\u2019 is an understated, mid-tempo with a lovely melody and some interesting touches in the arrangement. Though it starts out with a weird, faux-Asian intro, it quickly turns into a great showcase for both Sam and Dave, who dig into the melody.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s one of those records that kind of snuck up on me (God knows how many years I had the 45 before I actually listened to the B-side) and a few years back, when I had the honor to spin in the presence of David Porter himself, I made sure to play it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a very groovy tune, and I hope you dig it as much as I do.<\/p>\n

See you on Friday.<\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
