Another magnificent BBC Doc - Stax records

[Ed]

Its on there until Friday...

Otis
Sam and Dave
Booker T and the MG's
Isaac Hayes

There's some footage of Sam and Dave in Europe reminds me of the house music vibe, so good you could almost faint. Incredibly powerful.

Highly, highly recommended

They take plenty of stick, but a couple of those a year is worth my licence fee. I can't believe they don't sell these commercially, surely they'd go like hot cakes.

Always felt this...

Gospel / soul / house... to me it's so spiritual & it's the proliferating energy, euphoria & vibes you get from the music & each other \o/ Music that's good for the soul indeed !

I think that's why I verge towards more vocal stuff, promised land, you got the love, inner city.

What is interesting is that when it's done right, the bleepy instrumental stuff can do the same thing. (Strings of Live, Voodoo Ray)

Its a fantastic documentary, may watch it again later!!
