Stax Records and Special Guest Rob BowmanStax Records, founded in 1957 by Jim Stewart and Estelle Axton in Memphis, Tennessee, played a pivotal role in developing soul and R&B music. Originally called Satellite Records, it was rebranded in 1961, merging the founders' last names. Known for its deep, emotive sound, Stax produced timeless hits through iconic artists like Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, Booker T. & the MG's, and Sam & Dave. The label's house band, Booker T. & the MG's, contributed immensely to its distinctive grooves. Stax also stood out for its progressive integration of black and white artists and staff, which was rare. After a split with Atlantic Records in 1968 and financial troubles, Stax ceased operations in 1975. Despite its short lifespan, Stax's influence endures. Rob Bowman, a renowned Stax historian, continues to highlight its enduring legacy in shaping soul, R&B, and pop music history. Rob Bowman's book Soulsville, U.S.A.The Story of Stax Records offers an in-depth look at the label's history, detailing its origins, rise, and eventual decline. The book also provides comprehensive biographies of the promoters, producers, and performers who contributed to the label's legacy. In addition to the book, there's an HBO Original four-part documentary series titled STAX: SOULSVILLE U.S.A. -the series delves into the rich history of Stax Records. It premiered on May 20, 2024, and is available for streaming on HBO Max.

In the 1960s and 1970s, the Memphis sound was everywhere: Sam and Dave, Otis Redding, Carla Thomas, Isaac Hayes — the list goes on. Not only did the Memphis sound (a.k.a. Memphis soul) bring an amazing range of musical talent to the world, it also shined a light on the unsung city of Memphis, Tennessee and on a remarkable record company called Stax Records. In her expansive HBO docuseries “STAX: Soulsville, U.S.A.”, director Jamila Wignot (“Ailey”) goes inside the recording studio and widens her lens to look at the deep cultural impact that the musicians and executives of Stax had on American culture.   Joining Ken on the pod, Jamila discusses what drew her into this epic, constantly surprising story of a small record label that grew to be one of the centers of the music world — only to see the entire enterprise come to a tragic end. How did Stax records become a magnet for Black musicians and producers and a beacon for experimentation and improvisation in popular music? In what ways did Stax, with its interracial musical acts, break down racial barriers, while, at the same time, fall short in confronting the issue of race in the South? And what made the 1972 Wattstax concert in Los Angeles, with over 100,000 mostly Black fans, the “most badass thing” you can imagine? This docuseries is stacked with one fascinating, enlightening story after another.   “STAX: Soulsville, U.S.A.” is streaming on max.    Follow: @jamilaw on Instagram @topdocspod on Instagram and twitter/X   Hidden Gem: “Pumping Iron”   The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.

Bill Gibson began playing music at the age of seven. He found his passion for music when his father Ed Gibson, an architect by trade but a jazz drummer in his own right, began taking him to see such greats as The Count Basie Orchestra, The Duke Ellington Orchestra, and The Buddy Rich Big Band. Inspired by big band jazz and rock & roll styles, Bill got his first drum kit at age fourteen, and began playing drums with local bands the following year. He soon became the drummer for Sound Hole and played his first tour in 1974 backing up Van Morrison. Bill is a founding member of Huey Lewis and the News, which he and other members of Sound Hole and the band Clover formed in 1979. 33 years later, the band is still going strong and has enjoyed enormous success with over 30 million albums sold worldwide, 19 top ten hits including "The Power of Love", "Stuck With You", and "Hip To Be Square", and multiple awards and award nominations.

Introducing the Band:Your hosts Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) and Jeff Blehar (@EsotericCD) are joined by guest Eric Kohn. Eric is the Director of Marketing & Communications at the Acton Institute. Check him out on Twitter at @iEricKohn.Eric's Music Pick: Huey Lewis & the NewsDo you believe in miracles? Yes! After years of lobbying, Jeff has proven that anyone will fold, given enough time and pressure. Here is the Huey Lewis & the News episode of Political Beats.Those of you with us for a while will know that the band is a favorite of Scot's while Jeff previously has taken any opportunity to vow never to cover Huey and the boys on the show. Well, recently he had a change of heart (Track One, Picture This) and we wasted no time in finding a guest. Did we end up talking for three hours about Huey Lewis & the News? Of course we did. Did we change Jeff's mind? Listen and find out.Scot's love of the band started at a young age, and much of his knowledge of the early story of the band's history comes from a mass-market paperback that he still has to this day. Huey Lewis & the News: A Biography is a 142-page chronicle of the rise of the band and its origins on the San Francisco music scene. It's out of print, obviously, but check your local used bookstore for a copy.Huey Lewis & the News essentially was the merger of two big local Bay area bands -- Clover and Soundhole. Huey and keyboardist Sean Hopper played in the former, while drummer Bill Gibson, saxophonist/guitarist Johnny Colla, and bassist Mario Cipollina in the latter. Clover (sans Huey) were perhaps best known for being Elvis Costello's back-up band on My Aim Is True. The band then picked up a 21-year-old kid in 1979, Chris Hayes, to play lead guitar and were off. The next year, 1980, brought the little-noticed self-titled debut. Here's the thing: It's quite good! This album, and the early sound of the band, is the commercial follow-through on the wonderful music made by the pub rock artists of the U.K. This record is heavier on Mario's bass than later entries, but those trademark backing vocals are there from the start. It didn't sell. At all. The next album would be make or break. Huey's face alone is on the cover. Harmonies are tighter. Little did they know they had an ace in the hole: a song written by Mutt Lange. "Do You Believe in Love" would explode to #7 on the charts. The band had a hit. A follow-up would be tougher. Three other singles from Picture This failed to break #36, though one, “Workin' for a Livin',” has endured as a blue-collar anthem.The band went back to work with a taste of success and a thirst for more. The mission for the next album was simple: every song a hit. Easy, right? With Sports, they pretty much pulled it off. You know virtually every song on this album, including “I Want a New Drug,” “The Heart of Rock and Roll,” “If This Is It,” and more. There was no thematic goal other than producing hits. Synths, drum machines, massive hooks -- whatever it took. Outside writers? Sure! A strength of the band was taking other's material and making it sound like their own, as they did on “Heart and Soul” and “Walking On a Thin Line.”Sports was a monster. Massive headlining tours followed. Two major projects before the next album would drop. First, Huey would take a lead vocal spot in "We Are the World,” filling in for Prince. Second, some work on a little film called Back to the Future and the band's first #1 hit in “The Power of Love.”Huey Lewis & the News is on top of the world. But 1986 is approaching and a new album is due soon. One problem: No one hears a single. One of the engineers calls up Chris Hayes at home and says, "Chris, we need a hit.""Stuck With You" was what he came up with, and it was the lead single for Fore!, which would also hit #1 & sell 3 million+ copies. That said, Fore! is a bit of an odd duck. Fully half the songs were from outside writers, including the album's other #1 single, “Jacob's Ladder” (written by the Hornsby brothers)Next? Well, whatever the band wanted. And what they wanted was not necessarily commercial in nature. A socially conscious effort full of eclectic musical themes, Small World. As far as I've read, the band loves this album. They got to stretch their legs as musicians. They had earned the right to make a project of their choosing. The record-buying public was not impressed. Small World barely scraped 1 million units in sales.  The band did have one last bullet to fire at the charts. “Perfect World,” a song written by Alex Call, a former Clover bandmate of Huey and Sean, hit #3 and clearly sits aside their best.Afterward, the band had some well-earned time off. In the time span, though, the rock world was changing quickly. Huey & company dropped the weirdness of the last album and returned to the blueprint -- rock, R&B, a love song, and a tune by Mutt Lange. All on Hard At Play. There would not be another album of new material for ten years. Four Chords and Several Years Ago, an album of 50s-era covers, came in 1994.Plan B, an album of new material, arrived in 2001, followed by Soulsville, a Stax covers album, and finally 2020's Weather. The last record was released following Huey's diagnosis of Ménière's disease, an inner-ear disorder, which means he can no longer hear music frequencies or hold vocal pitches. The result is no touring and no more new music from the band. It's sometimes hard to hear Huey Lewis & the News on the radio. Living on that weird line between rock and pop in the 1980s means there's not a great format for those songs now. It's a catalog well worth further inspection, though. You won't regret spending three hours with us and the band.

SUMMARYStax Records legend Deanie Parker talks about writing songs for Otis Redding, Albert King, William Bell, and Carla Thomas, dives deep on what made the Stax environment so special, and shines a light on the recently-released box sets of forgotten Stax songwriter demos. PART ONEScott and Paul discuss the wild story behind the monumental box set Written in Their Soul: The Stax Songwriter Demos.PART TWOOur in-depth interview with Deanie ParkerABOUT DEANIE PARKERWhile still in high school, Deanie Parker won a Memphis talent contest and an audition for Jim Stewart at Stax Records. He signed her and released her debut single, on the Volt label, in 1963. The self-penned “My Imaginary Guy” became a regional hit, but the life of a touring artist was not for Parker. She became the first Black employee at Stax's Satellite Record Shop before joining the label staff as the company's first publicist in 1964. Learning on the job while studying journalism at Memphis State, Parker eventually became the company's Vice President of Public Affairs. One of the first female publicists in the music industry, she worked closely with Isaac Hayes, Booker T & the MG's, Rufus and Carla Thomas, Johnnie Taylor, Albert King, and others. Wearing many hats at Stax, Deanie continued to write songs with colleagues such as Steve Cropper, Booker T. Jones, Eddie Floyd, Bettye Crutcher, Mack Rice, Mable John, and Homer Banks, with whom she penned the soul classic “Ain't That a Lot of Love.” The list of Stax artists who recorded her songs includes Otis Redding, Carla Thomas, William Bell, Sam & Dave, The Staple Singers, and more. Her other writing skills were put to use penning liner notes for classic albums such as Sam & Dave's Hold On, I'm Comin', Albert King's Born Under a Bad Sign, Otis Redding's Live in Europe, and Shirley Brown's Woman to Woman. From 1987 through 1995, Deanie served as the Assistant Director of the Memphis in May International Festival. A tireless champion of the Stax legacy, she became the first President and CEO of Soulsville, the nonprofit organization established to build and manage the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, Stax Music Academy, and the Soulsville Charter School. She was appointed to the Tennessee Arts Commission in 2004 and, in 2009, was awarded two Emmy awards for the I Am a Man documentary short, for which she was an executive producer and the title song composer. The list of artists outside the Stax family who've covered Deanie Parker's songs includes The Rolling Stones, Elvis Costello, Darlene Love, Taj Mahal, Three Dog Night, The Flying Burrito Brothers, The Band, New York Dolls, Simply Red, Hall & Oates, and many others. She is a co-producer and co-liner notes writer of the seven-CD collection Written in Their Soul: The Stax Songwriter Demos, and was recently announced as a 2023 inductee into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame.

Planning for a whole city's future development is critically important but the process can seem abstract to many participants. That's where small area plans come into play. In this program, Memphis Metropolis is joined by Susannah Barton, administrator of comprehensive planning at the Memphis and Shelby County Division of Planning and Development (DPD). DPD recently completed small area plans around important anchors in eight Memphis neighborhoods, from South City and Soulsville to Hollywood-Hyde Park and Highland Heights. Susannah explains how the community was engaged in setting its own priorities and how funding has already been set aside to implement some of the top recommendations. Later in the program, regular commentator Charlie Santo returns to talk about the city's welcome new era of planning and to reflect on a favorite Ry Cooder song about cities and baseball: 3rd Base, Dodger Stadium.

Our guest for today's episode is Jon Hawk. Jon is the Director of Gym Operations at Memphis Rox in Tennessee. Based in Soulsville, an underserved neighborhood in South Memphis, Memphis Rox serves as an access point to mentorship and helps community members overcome life's obstacles. Memphis Rox takes pride in not being for profit, but being for people. It is the first non-profit gym of its size, at 32,000 square feet. With their “pay what you can” fee structure, they make sure nobody is turned away from the gym. Climbing serves as the community's avenue to foster relationships in a safe space. As their motto says, “we climb higher, when we climb together”. Jon walks us through how Memphis Rox serves as a model for providing equitable access to climbing, as well as the programs offered beyond climbing that help meet social needs for the people in the Soulsville community. 5:00- Jon's intro and where to climb around Memphis 12:18- Memphis Rox's mission statement 13:35- Jon's history and position with Memphis Rox 22:10- The origin of Memphis Rox 25:12- Why Soulsville? 28:28- Memphis Rox being service-based 32:53- The non-profit business model 38:43- Memphis Rox's board structure 40:57- Professional development programming 50:54- Mission statement, continued 55:45- What's next for Memphis Rox? 1:01:31- Jon's definition of advocacy Memphis Rox: https://www.memphisrox.org/ Memphis Rox Instagram: @memphisroxclimbing Soul Deep film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo_MhNqekbU New Orleans Boulder Lounge: https://www.climbnobl.com/ Tufas Boulder Lounge: https://tufasboulderlounge.com/ Nosotros Climbing Gym: https://www.gonosotros.com/

Welcome to Season 4. This exhibit from The Music Museum is called The Vietnam War: The Music. Our mission is to support all Vietnam Veterans and those who serve the United States, then and now. We thank you for your service. In Vietnam, music provided a diversion and a release from “the uncertainty, isolation, and sometimes stark terror that reached from the front lines to the relatively secure rear areas known as the “air-conditioned jungle,” or what was officially known as the Rear Echelon. The music that was popular during the Vietnam War was, and is still, therapy. There are songs you can remember, and then there are songs you REALLY remember. Many of these songs will have a special meaning for you. A place, a brother, a time gone by. Our shows are broadcast around the world. They say thank you & “welcome home” to all Vietnam Vets. There is no opinion offered on the War. It’s all about the music. - - - For your service and your sacrifice, this is Vietnam War: The Music. - - - This episode is called “Rear Echelon Commandos” - - - Don’t forget to join the conversation on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008232395712 - - -or by email at dannymemorylane@gmail.com You’ll hear: 1) We Gotta Get Out Of This Place by The Animals 2) Bring the Boys Home by Freda Payne 3) Welcome Home by Country Joe McDonald 4) Too Many Fish In The Sea by The Marvelettes 5) Sittin' On A Fence by The Rolling Stones 6) The Minute Men (Are Turning In Their Graves) by Stonewall Jackson 7) 634-5789 (Soulsville, U.S.A.) by Wilson Pickett 8) Rock 'n' Roll Stew by Traffic 9) These Boots Are Made For Walkin' by Nancy Sinatra 10) Good Luck Charm by Elvis Presley 11) Spanish Harlem by Aretha Franklin 12) What We're Fighting For by Dave Dudley 13) Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting by Elton John 14) Chu Yen (Siagon Girl) by Saul Broudy (lead), Robin Thomas & Tom Price 15) Soul Sister, Brown Sugar by Sam & Dave 16) White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane 17) Johnny B.

Episode Notes Austin Crowder is making his curriculum come alive for his Soulsville students by asking “Can Government Class Revolutionize Police Encounters?” And he's taking it a step further by making his findings free, open to the nation, and scalable for every situation. A brief “Know Your Rights” curriculum being added to Government and Civics classes throughout the country could dramatically mitigate the risks faced by civilians and police throughout interactions, increase police accountability, decrease incarceration rates, and save lives. Austin Crowder discusses the unit's learning process and invites them to experience what makes it effective and explore the remarkable survey data demonstrating its impact. He paints a picture of how, if scaled, the unit could fundamentally shift the narrative around police encounters, benefit both civilian and officer, mitigate dangerous escalation, increase self-efficacy of civilians, and lower incarceration rates. Austin currently teaches government and economics at The Soulsville Charter School in South Memphis. Throughout eight years as an educator he has developed a Know Your Rights Unit for implementation in civics classes throughout the city and country.

PART ONEScott and Paul chat about the loss of Justin Townes Earle, talk about how to get a good demo of an original song, and reflect on the unique cultural movement that emerged from Stax Records.PART TWOAn in-depth conversation with Eddie FloydABOUT EDDIE FLOYDEddie Floyd first found success on the Billboard charts as a songwriter for Carla Thomas, Solomon Burke, and Wilson Pickett, who had hits with "634-5789 (Soulsville, U.S.A.)" and "Ninety-Nine and a Half (Won’t Do)." He went on to top the charts as both writer and artist, recording soul classics “Knock On Wood,” “Raise Your Hand,” “Big Bird,” “I’ve Never Found a Girl,” and “California Girl.” Other artists continued to hit the charts with his songs, including Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, William Bell, Rufus Thomas, Esther Phillips, and Amii Stewart, who reached #1 on the pop charts with her disco version of “Knock On Wood” in 1979. From his early life as a doo-wop singer with The Falcons to his successful career with Stax Records, to his stints as the lead singer of both The Blues Brothers Band and Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings, Floyd has always considered himself, first and foremost, a songwriter. His catalog has been covered by Mavis Staples, Janis Joplin, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Eric Clapton, David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Tom Jones, Ike & Tina Turner, Albert King, Seal, James Taylor, Al Green, Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, and others. He has been inducted into both the Alabama Music Hall of Fame and the Memphis Music Hall of Fame, and has recently released his autobiography Knock! Knock! Knock! On Wood: My Life in Soul. 

When I decided on Huey Lewis and the News for this episode I thought it was going to be a cake walk. But I really got into it way more than I ever imagined I would. Especially since their later catalogue (post Fore!) is so ignored. As usual I discard the hits and dig deep, waaayyyy deep into albums like Four Chords, Plan B, Soulsville, and their recent album, Weather. Not to mention a couple amazing tracks off their mostly ignored debut self-titled album. It's a fun episode that I got to enjoy with my favorite co-host, my daughter Chloe who rocked out in the studio with me as we listened and talked about the songs. Thanks for listening!As always I encourage you to legally purchase or stream your music. Buying physical media will always deepen your appreciation for it. I don't monetize this podcast because I do not own the rights to these songs.

Growing up in the projects of one of the most violently dangerous and devastatingly impoverished neighborhoods in the nation, Soulsville, Tennessee, our guest, Christopher Dean, relays the ugly truth about how our western culture often chooses to ignore those suffering all around us. Chris has a philosophers way of relating his own story, letting others know what it's like from the perspective of a kid that was raised in a drug and gang culture, narrowly escaping the same fate of many of his peers, by entering and winning a writing contest that gained him national attention when President Barack Obama attended his high school graduation as the prize. This, opening the door to many new opportunities, Chris spent time interning at the White House and later meeting  film maker and philanthropist, Tom Shadyac, whom he welcomed into his life as a father figure and mentor. All of this played a part in how he's now making a big difference in his community, and we can all be inspired to do more through hearing about it.

In this episode of Memphis Type History: The Podcast, Caitlin and Rebecca tell each other about a restaurant from Memphis history. Caitlin starts us off with some old timey vocabulary before diving into Anderton's (get it??) Rebecca follows up with charming stories of The Four Way, which is so near and dear to our hearts. Herbert Anderton learned how to cook on a Texas Army base before bringing his skills to downtown Memphis. In 1945, Anderton's Restaurant and Oyster Bar opened at 51 Madison to immediate success. In 1956, Anderton's East opened up in the former Gilmore Seafood Restaurant at 1901 Madison as a second location. There was also a third location around 1965 in Whitehaven, across from Graceland. Then it and the original downtown location closed, and Anderton's East became the only one – and this is the one that most people have such fond memories of... due in part to its amazing piratey, nautical-themed interior. In the restaurant’s first ten years, it served over six million oysters to more than two million diners. On their 10-year anniversary, they baked a cake to serve 2,500 customers so that anyone who came in on that day could enjoy a slice. If you have a photo or memory of this event, please get in touch with us. We need to hear more about this event! Anderton's closed in 2005 and was demolished in 2009 BUT the décor lives on at The Cove on Broad Avenue. The Four Way makes a strong appearance in our book, and we were thrilled to revisit it for this week's podcast episode. It's located in Soulsville, one of the most historic neighborhoods in Memphis. It began as a small pool hall where you could also get basics like a hotdog, a sandwich, or a beer. In 1946, Clint and Irene Cleaves took out a loan on their house to purchase the building. Their restaurant had an upscale feel with white tablecloths and snazzy servers. They added a private dining room in the back complete with a doorbell and required staff approval before entry. The Four Way was one of the few places in Memphis that white and black people ate at together. Martin Luther King, Jr., was a regular, as were many famous Stax recording artists. And, of course, Elvis also dined there. The restaurant closed in 1996 due to Mrs. Cleaves' declining health. Willie Earl Bates purchased it when it went up for auction in 2001. He remodeled it and expanded dining space by removing the pool tables and adding an upstairs dining room for groups. But he did keep the menu as close to the original Cleaves' version as possible, even having cooks help with taste-testing to make sure the food remained "rightly seasoned." Today you can still find amazing soul food at The Four Way, as it carries on even after Mr. Bates' passing in 2016. For full show notes, go to memphistypehistory.com/dining1

SOUTHERN AVENUE takes its name from a Memphis street that runs from the eastern-most part of the city limits all the way to Soulsville (the original home of Stax Records). It�s a fitting moniker for this diverse four-piece: two powerhouse sisters whose musical education came from the church (Tierinii and Tikyra Jackson), a jazz bassist (Daniel McKee) and an Israeli-born guitar virtuoso who grew up a student of the blues and funk (Ori Naftaly). The band reached the finals at the 32nd International Blues Challenge, Naftaly and his bandmates knew they�ll be labeled "a blues band.� And they love the blues � but Naftaly says Southern Avenue is much more as evident from their debut album �Don�t Give Up� on Stax Records MUDBONE tells the story of American music one song at a time. His performances reach a broad audience by taking them on a journey from the late 19th century when bluegrass met the blues, through the country, soul, funk, and rock & roll of the 20th century. He was born near the Black River in Northeast Arkansas. That river is the dividing line between the Mississippi River Delta and the foothills of the Ozark Mountains. Combining his abilities as a guitarist with fiery vocals, Mudbone has developed a signature sound that appeals to a wide demographic while remaining uniquely his own. His latest release �Rivers', part 1 of the 2 disc set Rivers and Roads, is a reflection of old world delta blues, bluegrass and gospel music flowing together in the river they all come from.

Uziah "Sticky" Thompson (1 August 1936 – 25 August 2014) was a Jamaican percussionist, vocalist and deejay active from the late 1950s. He worked with some of the best known performers of Jamaican music and played on hundreds of albums. Thompson found employment with Clement "Coxsone" Dodd, assisting him with running his sound system, in time becoming a deejay with the system under the name "Cool Sticky". He became one of the earliest men to record in the new deejay style, using his mouth to make clicks and other percussive sounds. As a deejay he recorded with The Skatalites and can be heard on the tracks "Ball Of Fire", "El Cat Ska", "Guns of Navarone", as well as others. While working for Dodd he became friends with Lee "Scratch" Perry, and Thompson recorded as a deejay for Perry, and for Joe Gibbs in the late 1960s, on tracks such as "Train to Soulsville. Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Lewis sang in church from an early age . forming a singing group called The Regals. By the mid-1960s, he began recording and had one of the earliest rocksteady hits with "Take It Easy" in late 1966.The track was recorded with Lynn Taitt and the Jets and is regarded as one of the first rocksteady singles.the first 'herb' song ever recorded in Jamaica, "Cool Collie". He worked for Duke Reid as an arranger and backing vocalist, and won the Festival Song Contest in 1970 with "Boom Shaka Lacka". He began working as a singer with Byron Lee & the Dragonaires, and in 1971 had a hit with "Grooving Out On Life". Lewis continued to release records, but his success after the early 1970s was limited. Lewis released This Is Gospel in 1996 on his own label, Bay City Music, founded in the 1980s.
