Ladies And Babies Of STAX

by

Founded in 57 as Satellite Records, the label changed its name to Stax in four years and shared its operations with Volt. Featuring several popular integrated bands and a similar team of staff and artists, it was unprecedented in that period of racial strife and tension. Their use of “one studio, one equipment set-up, the same set of musicians and a small group of songwriters” led to a readily identifiable sound based in gospel, blues, country, funk, and RnB, influential in the creation of Memphis and Southern soul. I’m your Uncle Marty, with adventure number 557 of The 3D RadioActivity, as we focus on their tracks by and about relationships with the Ladies and Babies of all ages.

There’s 19 Tracks from Stax Studios, on the Volt, Satellite, Atlantic and home record label. We have several compilations from this Memphis Music Multitude, giving us quite a lot of tunes to touch on, well over a couple hundred more, so our Tennessee treasure hunt will continue next time too! Got any suggestions? Then tell me by sending  email, or with a message on our Facebook page which has links to the archives of all the earlier episodes and airedorable graphics in the photo section.  Look for us on Denver’s   MileHiRadio,   Theacidflashback.com,  TuneIn, and  InternetFM dot com, because the best FM radio is now on the Internet.

Until we meet again, Keep Rockin’ On!

Stax O Love

by

Stax Studios, on McLemore Ave,in Memphis, was founded in 57 as Satellite Records. The company changed its name in 61 and shared its operations with Volt, a sister label created to avoid the impression of favoritism among radio stations playing their records. They also were affiliated with Atlantic, CBS, Warner, and Fantasy over the years. Influential in the creation of Southern soul music, they also released gospel, funk, and renowned blues recordings. Steve Cropper, Duck Dunn, Isaac Hayes, Booker T. Jones, Wayne Jackson, and David Porter were collectively known as the “Big Six” house band and were mainly responsible for producing almost all of the output thru the mid to late 60’s. It was founded by two siblings and business partners, Jim Stewart and his sister Estelle Axton (STewart/AXton = Stax). I’m Uncle Marty, this is The 3D RadioActivity number 556 as we listen to their Love offerings.

The average age of the love tunes this time was 55 years, and the length was just over 2 and a half minutes, my initial Stax Studios file is well over three hundred songs, so moving forward, we will continue our in depth look at the Memphis music from them and their subsidiaries. Got any favorites that we haven’t played before?

The Sun Studio catalog is one of the deepest around, there were well over 250 titles when we began, so there’s still plenty more Memphis hits to check out before we delve into our Stax, Chess and Vee Jay Records that are in cue. You know I got ’em, so tell me your ideas either by sending email, or with a message on our Facebook page which has links to the archives of all the earlier episodes and graphics in the photo section.  Look for us on Denver’s MileHiRadio, Theacidflashback.com, TuneIn and   InternetFM dot com, because the best FM radio is now on the Internet.

Let’s look at some numbers as we finish up show number 550…  Over 730 hours of programming, within a gnat’s eyebrow of 10,000 individual recordings, and over 7,500 different selections! For example, this show is one shy of twenty tunes averaged out to over fifty years old per song. Over this Summer of Boogie, we’ve managed to get 160 different tracks to you, that’s close to 17 per week. We still have one more to go next time as our big Hollywood finish to this epic endeavor has spanned close to 300 different tracks in 14 specific shows along with those naturally occurring in the other chapters. There’s still some choice cuts to be spun, so we will round out the merriment with a Smorgasbord of Boogie to finish the feature next time. Then we will get into a look at some of the smaller yet notable studios and companies like Chess, Stax, Sun, Vee-Jay Records and others who have put out some of the best of all time selections ranging from Acoustic to Zydeco. I have tried mind reading, however it is much easier to get your suggestions in writing, so send your email, or with a message on our Facebook page which has links to the archives of all the earlier episodes and graphics in the photo section.  Look for us on Theacidflashback.com, Denver’s MileHiRadio,   TuneIn and  InternetFM dot com, because the best FM radio is now on the Internet.
