9x12" wood plaque. Mounted at top center is "Stax" gold record replica and below this is plaque which reads "Presented To Malvern Distributing Co. For Your Help In Achieving 1,000,000 Sales Of Soul Man By Sam & Dave." "Soul Man" is a 1967 song written by Isaac Hayes and David Porter, first successful as a #2 hit single by Atlantic Records soul duo Sam & Dave. Co-author Isaac Hayes found the inspiration for "Soul Man" in the turmoil of the African-American Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. Issued on the Atlantic-distributed Stax label for which Hayes and Porter worked, "Soul Man" was the most successful Stax single to date upon its release. The single peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot Black Singles chart, and at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US during the Autumn of 1967. "Soul Man" was awarded the 1968 Grammy Award for Best Rhythm & Blues Group Performance, Vocal or Instrumental. Plaque has scattered small wood nicks/rubs. Scattered wear/aging to the gold record itself. Fine.
