Hold On, I’m Comin’

First released1966

# Response: "Hold On, I'm Comin'" was recorded at Stax Records in Memphis, Tennessee between 1965 and 1966, with production by Isaac Hayes and David Porter. The album was engineered primarily at Stax's Studio A, which was known for its distinctive sound characteristics that became synonymous with the Memphis soul sound. The recording sessions featured the house band, Booker T. & the M.G.'s, providing the instrumental backbone for the duo's energetic vocal performances. Hayes and Porter's production approach emphasized live musicianship and tight arrangements, avoiding heavy overdubbing in favor of capturing performances in real time. The album became one of Stax Records' most commercially successful releases and helped establish Sam Moore and Dave Prater as major soul artists during the height of 1960s soul music.
