 | | Stax Records of Memphis, Tennessee integrated the sounds of the South fusing country, gospel, and blues into both familiar soul favorites that will never grow old, and numerous "lost" classics rarely heard since their original release. |
 | | The Stax sound was hot, from-the-gut, in the groove soul which was not primped for public consumption. |
 | | Stax stood apart from the racial polemics of the South with an integrated house band The M.G.'s (or Memphis Group) who cut killer instrumentals such as "Bootleg," "Hip-Hug-Her," and "Green Onions" which provide an alternative soundtrack to the cutesified Motown Sixties. |
