The History Of Stax Records THE STAX STORY by Robert Palmer Reprinted Courtesy of Fantasy Inc./Stax Records Stax Records, a name which is synonymous with Southern soul music, began as Satellite Records in Memphis in 1959. Founded by Jim Stewart, a former country fiddler, and Estelle Axton, whose son Charles "Packy" Axton was a saxophonist with the original Mar-Keys, the company had its first Top Ten hit in 1961 with "Gee Whiz" by Carla Thomas. During the next few years Stax developed a brand of music which was to have worldwide repercussions. With its house rhythm section, better known as Booker T. & the MGs, its tight horn section, which later became the Memphis Horns, and its gospel-rooted recording artists - Otis Redding, Sam and Dave - Stax virtually created contemporary soul music, both on its own records and as a Southern base of operations for Atlantic artists such as Don Covay and Wilson Pickett.

As Director of the Office of Scientific Research and Development, Dr. Vannevar Bush has coordinated the activities of some six thousand leading American scientists in the application of science to warfare. In this significant article he holds up an incentive for scientists when the fighting has ceased. He urges that men of science should then turn to the massive task of making more accessible our bewildering store of knowledge.Portale storico della Camera dei deputati Home page del portale Percorsi Le legislature Le legislature del Regno, della transizione costituzionale e della Repubblica: persone, organi, attività, documenti, immagini I Presidenti I Presidenti della Camera dal Regno alla XV legislatura della Repubblica: biografie, discorsi d'insediamento, attività, immagini I Regolamenti I Regolamenti di procedura parlamentare nel tempo: testi, schede di approfondimento, proposte di modificazione Montecitorio Storia e immagini del palazzo di Montecitorio dal XVI secolo L'Amministrazione L'apparato amministrativo nel tempo: storia, organigrammi, persone, regolamenti interni, documenti, immagini Notizie
