Stax Record's 50th Anniversary Celebration


Recommended Posts

I was sold before I even looked at the playist. Stax Records Stax was a soul and rhythm and blues label out of Memphis, that launched Otis Redding, Booker T & The MGs, Sam and Dave, Albert King, The Staples Singers, Johnnie Taylor, Shirley Brown and many other top recording artists of the era.
