Meet the visionaries behind the Stax label - the pre-eminent soul music label in America - and rediscover its music and artists, including Isaac Hayes and Steve Cropper.

Between 1959 and 1975, Stax Records in Memphis, Tennessee, released international chart-topping hits such as "Soul Man," "Dock of the Bay," "Green Onions," "Midnight Hour," "Respect Yourself" and the theme from Shaft. The label's artists included Otis Redding, Sam and Dave, Booker T. and the MGs, Wilson Pickett, Isaac Hayes - even Richard Pryor and Jesse Jackson. Founded by a conservative white bank teller who played country fiddle music, Stax became the pre-eminent soul music label in America. Its story is entwined with the civil rights movement of the 1960s and the rise of black nationalism in the 1970s. "Respect Yourself" documents the Stax label, its visionaries and most of all, its music.
