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.

Hi all. I´m just some white dude that embrace all kinds of music, always roaming youtube for new old tunes to discover and lo and behold, the Staple Singers caught my attention. Loved this catchy tune from the moment I clicked the play button. Oldies rules. Peace all.

Sitting here listening to this amazing song during The PLANDEMIC in May 2020. Wondering why I have to live during these horrible times. I was born in 1963 and lived through the amazing 60s and 70s when America was truly great and the original music from that time was absolutely amazing! Dear God please rewind this Earth back 50 years!

Pervis Staples, who sang harmony and also provided quieter forms of support during the rise to gospel stardom of his family’s group, the Staple Singers, died on May 6 at his home in Dolton, Ill. He was 85. Playing this with him in mind!

Wonderful, glad Mavis is still with us, what a voice.

Wicked Tune - Mavis Staples' Voice Is So Incredible.

[martycee]

God bless Rick Hall, The Swampers and all the stellar artists that passed through that wonderful oasis of colour blindness that was Muscle Shoals. For this 70 year old, as a budding musician and singer growing up in drab post war London, every one of you changed my life.

Ich habe 3 Alben der Staples... höre sie immer wieder... zeitlos, wundervoll, nicht der Einheitsbrei von heute, Rhythmus, Melodie, Stimmen... man muss immer noch "Slow cha" tanzen....
