Grammy and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and original soul man Sam Moore will join Dan Aykroyd and Jim Belushi of The Blues Brothers for a special guest performance on the 37th annual edition of PBS' A CAPITOL FOURTH, broadcast live from the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol. Named one of the "Top 100 Greatest Singers of All Time" by Rolling Stone Magazine, Moore is best known as one half of the famed Grammy-winning R&B duo Sam & Dave. Their monster hit "Soul Man" catapulted them up both the Pop and R&B Charts selling more than 10 million records worldwide. The Blues Brothers, who based their stage presence and personae on Sam & Dave, premiered their breakthrough, high‐energy rendition of "Soul Man" during their national television debut in 1978 on Saturday Night Live.
"I couldn't think of a more fitting way to honor the 50th anniversary of the release of my 1967 Grammy winning song 'Soul Man' than to be asked to perform it with the Blues Brothers on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol," said Sam Moore, whose album An American Patriot is scheduled for release later this summer.
A CAPITOL FOURTH airs on PBS Tuesday, July 4, 2017 from 8:00 to 9:30 p.m. ET before a concert audience of hundreds of thousands, millions more at home, as well as to our troops serving around the world on the American Forces Network.

The concert will also be live-streamed online on Facebook Live and https://www.pbs.org/a-capitol-fourth and available as Video on Demand for a limited time only, July 4 to July 18, 2017.
