Thanks for the Music Mr. Stewart, RIP Visited Stax Records studio and museum in Memphis a few years ago.

Lot of history there along with a lot of great music.

The piece mentions Booker T and the MG's but I did not see the names of Steve Cropper, Donald "Duck" Dunn. People will recall them both from the Blues brothers movie as well as Saturday Night Live (early years).

Also not mentioned is Aretha Franklin, tewart, RIPshe grew up down the street from Stax Records, but her career really started in NYC, Atlantic Records

Hold On! I'm Coming! by Sam and Dave, President Trump's theme song, came out of Jim Stewart's diskery.

The only rock band on the Stax label (Big Star) probably lost their chance at fame because all of their records got placed into the Blues/R and B section at the record stores. No one could find them.

I mentioned that I visited Stax records a few years ago. I wrote about it in this piece: The Death of Stax Records and the Lorraine Hotel
