Grammy Award-winning singer Sam Moore will perform during Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremonies, he announced Tuesday. The former member of the duo Sam and Dave will perform at the “‘Make America Great Again!’ Welcome Celebration” on Thursday, Jan. 19.
“As an American, I am honored to perform for President-elect Donald Trump,” Moore said in a statement. “I was a participant in the civil rights movement and have seen many positive changes and advancement in my 81 years of living in this wonderful Country, but I know we must all join hands and work together with our new President. I honestly believe that if we can accomplish this, the best is yet to come. We all as Americans need to unite behind our new President and give him a chance. He needs everyone’s support to make America greater, stronger and an even better Country.”

...Moore said he initially planned to attend the event at the Lincoln Memorial because he wanted to see (Jennifer) Holliday sing, but when she backed out last week, he asked if he could sing in her place.
“I am not going to let them, the left side, intimidate me from doing what I feel is the right thing to do for the country and that (presidential) seal,” Moore said in a phone interview Tuesday.
Moore and his late musical partner Dave Prater were hit singers in the late 1960s with Isaac Hayes-penned hits like “Hold On, I’m Comin'” and “Soul Man,” which earned them a Grammy award. Prater died in 1988, but Moore continues to perform and record as a solo artist.
Moore, who has performed for five other US presidents, said he doesn’t know Trump personally and sometimes he’s been surprised by opinions expressed by Trump.
“He’s got a big mouth, like me,” Moore said. “Whether you agree with him or not, he’s going to say what’s on his mind.”
But he said Trump deserves a chance to prove himself as the next president.
“Give the man a shot,” Moore said. “He hasn’t even said ‘I do’ yet. Give him a chance. If you don’t like him after four years, then don’t vote for him next time.”
