Um... Nope! Imho Sam Moore was one of the greatest soul singers ever, and Dave Prater was his perfect partner and foil (even as much as they hated each other towards the end of their partnership).
Other great "soul" duos that come to mind, but not at the same level:
Ernie & Eddie
Mel & Tim
James & Bobby Purify
Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell
The Righteous Brothers
Hall & Oates
Btw, shortly after it was released, I read a review in Creem magazine about Sam & Dave's "I Thank You" album. They couldn't praise it enough, to which I totally agreed, and they stated that it was recorded in just a few days of studio time in between two on-the-road gigs. Outstanding!!!
Also, a must see DVD is the "Stax/Volt Revue, Live In Norway" from a 1967 concert.

He's only been around since the early-mid 90's. You'll get around to it................eventually
Wow what a concert. Never heard of the The MarKeys -was that supposed to read The Bar-Kays?
The beginning of that track was sampled by House Of Pain on their hit Jump Around.
On June 28, 1988 (32 years ago today) Public Enemy released what I believe to be the greatest hip hop record in history - "It Takes a Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back". What was particularly remarkable about this record, besides the militant political and socially conscious lyrics, was the extensive sampling of James Brown. That had such an influence on future producers and ended up making James Brown the most sampled artist in hip hop history. Prophets of Rage is my favorite track from the album, also my favorite Public Enemy track ever. Yo kick it Chuck.
The Markeys was the early house band of Stax records eventually morphing into Booker T and The MG<s the Barkays came later and was ill fated because some of the members toured with Otis Redding and went down with the plane along with Otis
