Every day we are jumping from one task to another – looking at the watch as a guide. No wonder heart attack is one of the main causes to death. We forget to pause, to look around and to enjoy friendship and family. The world is beautiful…

- Biography
Mighty Sam McClain's early success was in the mid-sixties with Don Gibson's, "Sweet Dreams". It propelled this small town Louisiana boy to a stint at the Apollo Theatre. He recorded singles at Muscle Shoals Fame studio--"Fannie May", ”In the Same Old Way" and many others on the Amy, Atlantic, Malaco and Bell labels.
Moving from Nashville to New Orleans in successive years found him doing menial jobs, sleeping outdoors and selling his plasma to survive. The Neville Brothers were instrumental in giving him a base to regroup. An invitation to do a tour in Japan in 1989 set him on track again. The resulting "Live In Japan" is a much sought after recording.
An invitation to be on a Hubert Sumlin project in the early 90's increased his visibility. But not until his move to New England (Boston) in 1992 did he get a solid band under him and presented his music "Give It Up To Love" to Joe Harley at AudioQuest Records. He went on to record four additional CDs for them and two CDs for Telarc when AQ folded "Blues for the Soul" (2000) and "Sweet Dreams" in 2001. With international and national appearances he has built a following, especially since his 1998 song, "New Man in Town" ("Journey"- 1998) was used in 12 episodes of David Kelley's "Ally McBeal".
Presently Sam operates McClain Productions from his home in Newmarket, NH and released his first solo production, "One More Bridge To Cross" in 2003, followed by "Betcha Didn't Know" in 2005. He has just completed his latest project, "Too Much Jesus (Not Enough Whiskey)" which is as yet, unreleased. In 2007 he devoted his time to the "Give US Your Poor" project, a national initiative to aid the homeless (especially important since he himself has been homeless more than once in pursuit of this musical journey. He recorded a song with Natalie Merchant for the CD and wrote and performed a duet with Jon Bon Jovi titled, "Show Me The Way".
"The Soul of America" is his European title, but he is, just as the lyrics he wrote, "I'm a singer, a man with a song...and I've got a message for you.

- Every day we are jumping from one task to another – looking at the watch as a guide. No wonder heart attack is one of the main causes to death. We forget to pause, to look around and to enjoy friendship and family. The world is beautiful – you only have to allow yourself to see it - to experience it. Look at the watch, painted by Jette – given the title “Time is relative”.
