The label served as the driving force of unity during the civil rights era from its hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, uniting people through music in a time of great social unrest. Among the many artists who scored hits on Stax and its Volt subsidiary during the sixties were Rufus and Carla Thomas, Booker T. & the MGs (an interracial instrumental quartet that also served as the Company’s rhythm section), Sam and Dave, Johnnie Taylor, Albert King, Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, the Staple Singers, and the Dramatics. Today, the Stax brand continues to not only issue impressive soul releases—most recently in the form of Ben Harper & Charlie Musselwhite’s Get Up!
