ð¶ Where Soul Was Born â Inside the Legendary STAX Studio ð€ð¥
From Isaac Hayes' gold-trimmed Cadillac to the raw power of Otis Redding, weâre diving into the birthplace of Southern Soul!
In this video, we tour the original site of Stax Records in Memphis â now the Stax Museum of American Soul Music â where artists like Isaac Hayes, Otis Redding, and Booker T. & the MGs made music that shook the world.
We look at how this unlikely studio (inside an old movie theater!) helped launch a soul music revolution, integrated bands in the Jim Crow South, and shaped American culture.
What is the Memphis Soul sound?
Who really wrote âSoul Manâ?
Why did Isaac Hayes get a Cadillac with a fridge and a TV inside?
What happened to Stax Records after MLKâs assassination?
How did a small studio rival Motown?
