Two soul giants of the 60's were on the same bill,but one upon seeing his name equal on the billboard refused to do his show until his name was on top...name the two singers?

I saw you sneaking back in. Where y'been...? And did you bring hooch, in greetings...??

Well, my first thought would be Sam Moore, with Dave Prater [['Sam & Dave')...but I also wondered maybe James Brown & Joe Tex....

[theboyfromxtown]

I seem to recall some issues between Otis Redding and Sam & Dave when they toured the UK in 1966/67.

Nope sis,keep trying.

[westgrandboulevard]

Are the singers actually both male?

[splanky]

I would have thought for sure one of them had to be James Brown but hell, JB had beef with
so many other male singers it ain't funny...so maybe it's some other cats, say Wilson Pickett and Percy Sledge or Solomon Burke and Ben E. King, or any cross match of the four, hell,
I'm just guessing....

[arr&bee]

Nope,yes west they're both male...keep working someone will stumble up on it.

[arr&bee]
