data-title="Respect-yourself-Stax-Records-and-the-soul-explosion" class="" >Respect yourself : Stax Records and the soul explosion</a> by <a href="/author/gordonrobert">Robert Gordon</a></div></div><div class="showmore" id="u_eb3a0335" >This comprehensive history tells the story of how Stax Records, an independent record company from Memphis, rose to prominence by creating and popularizing soul music. Stax was founded around the same time as Detroit's Motown, a company founded by a Black man with the goal of creating music that would crossover to white audiences. Conversely, Stax was founded by a pair of white people who ended up creating music that was more beloved within the Black community and on the R&B charts. <u class="showmore_hide">The brother and sister team of Jim Stewart and Estelle Axton hadn't intended to make their record company a powerhouse of Black music. But when they moved their studio into a former movie theater in a predominately Black neighborhood of Memphis, it became a community center of sorts for talented local musicians and songwriters.<br><br>The Stax story detailed here parallels the Civil Rights and integration movements happening in Memphis and across the country in the 1960s and 1970s. While community activists fought to support the the predominately Black sanitation workers and to integrate schools, Black and white musicians came together in peace within the Stax studios. The name of the integrated Stax house band, the MGs, has alternately been explained to mean "Memphis Group" or "Mixed Group" (among other things). Stax soon began to have big hits from artists such as Booker T. & the MGs, Carla Thomas, Eddie Floyd, Sam & Dave, and Otis Redding. Black businessman Al Bell joined Stewart as co-owner of Stax furthering the integration of the company (although Axton would grow disgruntled with her role in the company and sell her shares a few years later).<br><br>Otis Redding's stunning performance at the <a href="https://othemts.wordpress.com/2022/04/15/documentary-movie-review-monterey-pop-1968-bloggingatozchallenge/" rel="nofollow" target="_top">Monterey Pop</a> festival in June 1967 energized a crowd of West Coast hippies with Southern soul signaled another breakthrough for Stax. But several tragedies would soon follow. Redding and most of the members of the young house band Bar-Kays died in a plane crash in December 1967. In early 1968, Stax ended a distribution deal with Atlantic Records, inadvertently losing their master recordings and Sam & Dave in the process. Then in April 1968, Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in Memphis at the Lorraine Motel, a place that was a popular hangout for Stax staff and artists.<br><br>Al Bell challenged this adversity with what he called the "Soul Explosion," releasing a flood of new recordings and kickstarting the careers of several emerging artists including Isaac Hayes, The Staples Singers, The Dramatics, Luther Ingram, and a re-formed Bar-Kays. Stax artists were phenomenally successful on the R&B charts with pop success as well. Once again, a festival in California would be a highpoint for Stax success, the <a href="https://othemts.wordpress.com/2007/08/15/movie-review-wattstax/" rel="nofollow" target="_top"><em>Wattstax</em></a> concert of 1972. Stax began branching out into other ventures such as filmmaking.<br><br>While Stax was making a lot of money the expenses were also high. The company started accruing massive debts and facing lawsuits from various creditors. A new distribution deal with CBS Records also quickly went sour. There also was quite a bit of crime: payola and physical intimidation at radio stations, piracy of Stax records, fraud, and illegal drugs. Gordon takes note that these problems were rife within the music industry of the 1970s, but that the legal cases against Stax always made note of them likely due to fear of a Black economic power in Memphis at the time. Just as quickly as Stax rose, the company foundered and declared bankruptcy in early 1976 (although the Stax label name has been revived since).<br><br>This book took me an unusually long time to read but I was fascinated by the details and the unique history of this record company. It's amazing how much terrific music was made in such a short period of time by this dedicated group of people. Gordon's book is definitely worth a read for anyone interested in popular music and the Civil Rights Era.</u><span class="showmore_showlink">… (<a href="#" onclick="showMore('u_eb3a0335');">more</a>)</span></div class="" ><span id="rate-u_13e075d7" title="4 Stars" aria-title="4 Stars" class="rating rating-style-306 " data-fn="ratingWidget_fromSettingsA" ><span class="rw"><input type="hidden" value="8" name="form_rating" id="form_rating"/></span><i data-rating_value="2" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="4" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="6" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="7" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="10" class=" fas fa-star empty" ></i></span></div><div id="rfd_103803279" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_103803279"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"><div id="reviewflags_given_103803279" class="reviewflags_given hideme">Flagged<span id="rfi1_103803279" class="hideme" > <i title="Flagged as not a review" class="fas fa-flag-alt reviewflags_notreview"></i></span><span id="rfi2_103803279" class="hideme" > <i title="Flagged as abuse" class="fas fa-flag-alt reviewflags_abuse"></i></span></span></div><span id="rfrf_103803279"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/Othemts" target="_top">Othemts</a> | <a href="/work/13851652/reviews" data-workid="13851652" data-title="Respect-yourself-Stax-Records-and-the-soul-explosion" class="" >2 other reviews</a> | Jan 15, 2024 | <a href="/review/103803279"><i class="fas fa-link"></i></a></span> </div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_33416534" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/9243" data-workid="9243" data-title="It-Came-From-Memphis" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0743410459.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0743410459.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0743410459.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"><div class="postinfo"><a href="/work/9243" data-workid="9243" data-title="It-Came-From-Memphis" class="" >It Came From Memphis</a> by <a href="/author/gordonrobert">Robert Gordon</a></div></div><div class="" >A terrific tale of great unknown legends of Rock and Roll, Memphis on the brink of enlightenment and a forgotten hero of integration..</div class="" ><span id="rate-u_f46eaedc" title="5 Stars" aria-title="5 Stars" class="rating rating-style-306 " data-fn="ratingWidget_fromSettingsA" ><span class="rw"><input type="hidden" value="10" name="form_rating" id="form_rating"/></span><i data-rating_value="2" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="4" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="6" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="8" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="9" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i></span></div><div id="rfd_33416534" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_33416534"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"><div id="reviewflags_given_33416534" class="reviewflags_given hideme">Flagged<span id="rfi1_33416534" class="hideme" > <i title="Flagged as not a review" class="fas fa-flag-alt reviewflags_notreview"></i></span><span id="rfi2_33416534" class="hideme" > <i title="Flagged as abuse" class="fas fa-flag-alt reviewflags_abuse"></i></span></span></div><span id="rfrf_33416534"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/JNSelko" target="_top">JNSelko</a> | Apr 16, 2019 | <a href="/review/33416534"><i class="fas fa-link"></i></a></span> </div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_129482734" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/331999" data-workid="331999" data-title="Cant-Be-Satisfied-The-Life-and-Times-of-Muddy-Waters" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0316164941.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0316164941.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0316164941.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"><div class="postinfo"><a href="/work/331999" data-workid="331999" data-title="Cant-Be-Satisfied-The-Life-and-Times-of-Muddy-Waters" class="" >Can't Be Satisfied: The Life and Times of Muddy Waters</a> by <a href="/author/gordonrobert">Robert Gordon</a></div></div><div class="" >I love Muddy Waters and his music, "Mannish Boy" is timeless.
