About Stax Records
Stax Records, now owned by Concord/Craft Recordings, was founded by Jim Stewart in 1957 in Memphis, Tennessee. It rose from a small, family-operated company to become one of the most influential soul music record labels in the world, helping create “The Memphis Sound” and launching the careers of icons such as Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, Booker T. & the M.G.’s, the Staple Singers, Sam & Dave, Rufus and Carla Thomas, The Bar-Kays, and dozens of other artists who helped change popular culture forever. In all, Stax placed 167 hit songs in the Top 100 in Pop and 243 hits in the Top 100 in R&B.
Stax Records works closely with the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, the Stax Music Academy, and The Soulsville Charter School, all operated by the Soulsville Foundation and all located on a vibrant campus at the original site of Stax Records in Memphis, TN. The Soulsville Foundation perpetuates the soul of Stax Records by preserving its rich cultural legacy, educating youth to be prepared for life success, and inspiring future artists to achieve their dreams.

When I went back to see her, she was sitting in her wheelchair ,there's my oldest daughter, called out my name. I was so happy and blessed that she remembered everything ❤️. Played Johnny Taylor and dancing in the streets New Orleans music 🎶. She was moving her head side way. She asked for more ice water from dehydrated for almost a month or more. ❤ She is talking. Enjoy your elderly parents because you are going to miss them when they are gone.

[@sylviaross5486]

I loved this song the minute I heard it on the radio in 1973. I went out & bought it as soon as I saved enough of my allowance. Seems like I remember you could get a 45 rpm single for about 45 cents. I was probably the only white girl in my school who'd bought this record, but I didn't care, because I knew good music when I heard it. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for rhythm & blues, & this song is a classic. Of course, I love Johnnie Taylor's soulful voice, but I also love it when the female backup singers come in - like icing on a cake.

If the music you listen to the most doesn’t invoke you to think and feel deeply about yourself.....your life....to face what reality is for you and inspire you to be your best and overcome all adversity......then that explains why you might be lost and confused about yourself. Music like this song and or what is massively referred to as “real music”, was predominantly produced in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s because one of the reasons, it was practical to learn how to play an instrument, especially becoming a self taught instrumentalist. The devotion to producing, creating and making music was greater than the desire for fame and money, these artists put their heart and soul into being the best and created volumes of timeless, priceless music, so vast that it seems like they completed what music is and ‘should be’, it’s not old school, or whatever category the industry wants to label it.......no it’s simply what music is suppose to be, why, because it’s The Best of humwoman expression musically, the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and some 90’s......and a little bit of 2000’s. That’s my perspective.

LOOK HERE....I remember back in the 70s especially during summer months, sitting on our front porch with my parents and a few neighbors laughing, talking and sipping with the blues/rnb soul blasting in the background. That's how I was introduced to this style of music by my parents playing JOHNNIE TAYLOR, JOE SIMON, JOE TEX, TYRONE DAVIS, LITTLE MILTON, LATIMORE and MILLIE JACKSON......❤OLD SCHOOL FUN❤...70s

I'd rather live in the past as far as music goes , cause these days I don't know what there emotions are and they are our music to our songs for some of the rhythms. That's foul I don't like the music out they have these days. I'm with you on that I stay in my music from back then .take care memory are precious.
