The definitive account of Stax Records, the legendary Memphis label that defined soul music in the 1960s and 1970s.
Respect Yourself is the first comprehensive history of Stax Records, the legendary Memphis label that was home to some of the greatest soul musicians of all time. This book tells the story of Stax's founders, Jim Stewart and Estelle Axton, and the iconic artists they discovered and developed, including Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Booker T. & the M.G.'s, and Isaac Hayes.
Drawing on extensive interviews with Stax musicians, producers, and engineers, Respect Yourself provides a vivid account of the label's creative process. The book explores the unique musical environment that Stax fostered, and the ways in which its artists pushed the boundaries of soul music. Respect Yourself also tells the story of Stax's financial struggles and eventual bankruptcy, and the ways in which its legacy has continued to inspire musicians and fans around the world.
