Let Us Now Praise Stax Records |
|
Otis Redding, Pick any song! Rufus Thomas, "Walking The Dog." The Bar-Kays, "Soul Finger." Sam And Dave, "I Thank You." Wilson By God Pickett, "In The Midnight Hour." Booker T And The MG's, "Hip Hug Her." Albert King, "Cross Cut Saw" (baby, DRAG me 'cross yo log) The Staple Singers, "Respect Yourself." Carla Thomas, "B-A-B-Y." Otis And Carla, "Tramp" (woman, you goofy) Isaac Hayes, "By The Time I Get To Phoenix."
Not to down Motown, but everybody cut live at Stax; no prerecorded background tracks over which the stars sang later. Booker T said, "We're going for the whole feeling."
Have I missed anyone here??

They had a monster box set out ten or twelve years ago.
Memphis... Great Town!

Some of the best music EVER! Did Chuck Jackson & Maxine Brown record on Stax?
Sam and Dave was the best ever IMHO!

9. Looks like Chuck and Maxine were on the Wand label |
|
(home of the mighty mighty Kingsmen), but they would have been right at home on Stax!
CAN I get a WITNESS?
