🎧 Stax Records: A Legacy of Soul
Founded in Memphis in 1957, Stax Records became synonymous with Southern soul music, launching the careers of icons like Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, and Booker T. & the MGs. Despite facing challenges, including the tragic loss of Otis Redding and bankruptcy in the mid-70s, Stax's influence on music and culture remains unparalleled. With over 167 hit songs on the pop charts and 243 hits on the R&B charts, Stax's gritty, raw soul music has left an indelible mark on the world.
