HEAR TODAY MOORE IS STILL `SENSATIONAL'.Byline: Fred Shuster Music Critic Noun 1. music critic - a critic of musical performances critic - a person who is professionally engaged in the analysis and interpretation of works of art Sam Moore refuses to trot peacefully into the glue factory. Although best-known for his work with '60s soul powerhouse Sam & Dave (``Hold On! I'm Comin','' ``Soul Man,'' ``You Don't Know Don't know (DK, DKed) "Don't know the trade." A Street expression used whenever one party lacks knowledge of a trade or receives conflicting instructions from the other party. Like I Know''), Moore is still making music and drawing attention. His latest album, ``Overnight Sensational'' (Rhino; $18.98), brings together cameos from the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Vince Gill, Travis Tritt and the late Billy Preston. One track, ``Don't Play That Song (You Lied),'' was recorded to honor ailing Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun, who wrote the tune. Moore was singing it in a Miami club in 1964 with his late partner, Dave Prater prate v. prat·ed, prat·ing, prates v.intr. To talk idly and at length; chatter. v.tr. To utter idly or to little purpose. n. , when Ertegun decided to bring the pair to his label's Stax imprint. Moore, 71, who performs Monday with Tritt on CBS' ``Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson,'' was reached for comment. Q: How did Sam & Dave actually end? A: Hard drugs, egos, jealousy and no money broke it up. We began to hate each other. Dave had his dressing room, and I had mine. Sometimes I'd show up and he didn't, and sometimes he'd show up and I didn't. We didn't speak for many, many years, even though we shared the stage nearly every night until 1969. And I don't miss those years for anything. Q: You've got a bunch of big-name drop-ins on the record. Were you in the studio when they added their parts? A: Nope. These days, everything's done in bits and pieces. They were all over the globe, and they made their contributions to the tape, and the producer used what he wanted. I'm just glad they consented. I never asked for anything in life. I'm just amazed about the people who like me. I don't have that many people I'm close to.
