"I Thank You" is a song written by #DavidPorter and #IsaacHayes originally recorded by #SamAndDave, released in early 1968. The single was Sam & Dave's final release on #StaxRecords, reaching No. 9 on the Billboard Pop singles chart and No. 4 on the #RAndB chart. Shortly after its release, Stax severed its distribution deal with #AtlanticRecords and Sam & Dave, who were actually signed to Atlantic and loaned out to Stax and began recording for Atlantic proper.
