He’s penned and/or produced some of the most quintessential songs in music history: Sam & Dave’s “Soul Man” and “Hold On, I’m Comin’.” Carla Thomas’ “B-A-B-Y.” Mable John’s “Your Good Thing (Is About to End).” The Emotions’ “So I Can Love You” and “Show Me How.” Now David Porter has chronicled his creative journey with writing partner Isaac Hayes as well as his stellar career — and still influential legacy — at Southern soul stronghold Stax Records in the new memoir, The Soul Man: Life of Songwriter David Porter.
