Set List Special Edition - The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of 1992 No. 7

 The Yardbirds

Inducted by The Edge

(Wikipedia)

The Yardbirds are an English rock band as of 1963.  The core of the band included Keith Relf (harmonica, vocals), Jim McCarty (drums), Chris Dreja (guitar, bass), and Paul Samwell-Smith (bass, producer).  The core dissolved and led to a revolving door of members,

For a brief period of time, The Yardbirds featured Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Jeff Beck.  The band is credited for the successful careers each guitarist went on to have.  (All three ranked in the top five of Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Guitarists.)

The Yardbirds ranked No. 89 on Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.

The band played blues and pop styles but paved the way for psychedelic rock and hard rock...even punk rock, progressive rock, and heavy metal influences.

The background of The Yardbirds is broken down by major guitarists - the band with Eric Clapton, the band with Jeff Beck, and the band with Jimmy Page.  A later category includes the formation of Led Zeppelin by Jimmy Page.  Each broken down section tells its own story.

Outside of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, there is no mention of honors or other accolades. 

At the end of the day, history is prominent over awards,

Set List Special Edition - The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of 1992 No. 6

 Sam & Dave

Inducted by Billy Joel

(Wikipedia)


Side note - Billy Joel previously inducted Fats Domino.

Genres considered - Soul, R&B, Southern Soul, Rock and Roll

Sam Moore was known for a higher tenor pitch that was complimented by Dave Prater's deep baritone pitch.  This was best for the duo...

...On a sad note, the two did not compliment each other on an individual base with refusal to speak backstage and all communication was through an intermediary.  Neither looked at the other when performing on stage.  At an eventual point, Sam Moore left the duo to pursue a solo career.

Sam & Dave were further known for impressive live performances.

The "Dynamic Duo" held great influence on such musicians as Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Phil Collins, Michael Jackson, Billy Joel, Steve Winwood, and many more.

In the 1980s, the Blues Brothers brought back soul, R&B, and blues.  They are best recognized by "Soul Man" and their live acts honoring Sam & Dave.

As with so many other Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, Sam & Dave too have a long history.  Should you be interested, follow the Wikipedia link above.

In this post, then, I will highlight due honors for Sam & Dave.

Grammy Award for "Soul Man"

Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award 

Vocal Group Hall of Fame
Memphis Music Hall of Fame
Rhythm & Blues Music Hall of Fame

My personal thought regarding Sam & Dave - Their voices complimented each other as musicians.  I can imagine the live acts based on words alone.  Yet, there were so many flaws in the duo's relationship that were not entirely consistent when described by both at separate times.  Music is something to bring joy, fun, and happiness.  Fans are fans for a reason.  Fans grow with favorite musicians as they grow.  They expect only the best when a band, duo, or solo walks on stage and performs.  As Roger Taylor (Duran Duran) once said of the band that in their last performance as the original lineup, they were all in different head spaces.  Every member contributed their part but the positive electricity just wasn't there.  Fans may have felt hope, but DD did not.  I suppose, then, the same could be said of Sam & Dave.
