COMMENTS: It is truly astonishing all this talent worked together in Memphis during this period, mostly, in and around an the abandoned old movie house Stax Records -- the history of the period in music is incredibly rich and rivals anything Motown offered at this time. Those horns, the rhythm, and the soul cannot get enuf!
