Respect Yourself: Stax Records and the Soul Explosion Gordon Robert
The story of Stax Records unfolds like a Greek tragedy. Their success soon pits the siblings against each other, and the brother abandons his sister for a visionary African-American partner. A white brother and sister build a monument to racial harmony in blighted south Memphis during the civil rights movement.
They fall, losing everything, and the sanctuary they created is torn to the ground. Under integrated leadership, Stax explodes as a national player until, Icarus-like, the heights they achieve result in their tragic demise. A generation later, Stax is rebuilt brick by brick and is once again transforming disenfranchised youth into stellar young musicians.Set in the world of 1960s and '70s soul music, Respect Yourself is a character-driven story of racial integration, and then of black power and economic independence.
It's about music and musicians--Isaac Hayes,
