Let Us Now Praise Stax Records

[dbt]

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??

8. AMEN AGAIN!

Some of the best music EVER! Did Chuck Jackson & Maxine Brown record on Stax?

Sam and Dave was the best ever IMHO!

[dbt]

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?
