Members K7Baixo Posted August 2, 2007 Members Share Posted August 2, 2007 Our local oldies station mentioned that the PBS station was airing, "Respect Yourself: The Stax Records Story" tonight. Man - this is good stuff and it confirms what I've always thought - music helped change this country in terms of race relations. Steve Cropper, Donald "Duck" Dunn, Wayne Jackson (The Mar-Keys), Jim Stewart, his sister, Estelle Axton (who was really the force behind Stax), William Bell, Marvin Davis, Al Jackson, Otis Redding, Booker T Jones - oh my goodness... this is history that you need to see if you haven't. I get chill bumps thinking about these guys and what they accomplished. If you get a chance, watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members __tony__renaud Posted August 2, 2007 Members Share Posted August 2, 2007 I found the listing in the TV Guide a half-hour after it was over. Hopefully, they'll run it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassred Posted August 2, 2007 Members Share Posted August 2, 2007 I'll have to look for that one, it'd make a great companion to Standing in the Shadows of Motown....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Billystrat Posted August 2, 2007 Members Share Posted August 2, 2007 I gotta look out for that. I was just watching the Blues Brothers movie tonight. Duck Dunn is absolutely amazing. No question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members T. Alan Smith Posted August 2, 2007 Members Share Posted August 2, 2007 I get chill bumps thinking about these guys and what they accomplished. +1. I missed the 1st part 'cause of the improv, but a great show...narrated by Samuel Jackson nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members el_duderino676 Posted August 2, 2007 Members Share Posted August 2, 2007 Damnit. I totally forgot about this and was planning on watching it. Damn you Clerks for being so good and stealing my attention! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members K7Baixo Posted August 2, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 2, 2007 I'll have to look for that one, it'd make a great companion to Standing in the Shadows of Motown....... Yep. There was a lot of competition between Stax, Motown, Chicago and Philly - we ended up with superb competition and the music produced will be around for years to come - it's timeless.
