I can't wait to see STAX. It was one of my favorite soul labels with the best gut-bucket artists.

Booker T & The MG's, outta sight! Isaac Hayes, had a song called "Soulsville" which was featured in the original Shaft (another favorite album soundtrack) with Richard Roundtree.

I love sangría, but I can't drink it because I will either make more of my own, or go out and buy a bottle of Sueco. I went through three in one night five years ago.

I love Booker T and the MG's and they are featured prominently in the documentary, which you will love. We watched the whole thing in one sitting!

And the Shaft soundtrack is a masterpiece! Isaac Hayes was badass.

There are so many amazing soul singers. Nina Simone is one of my favorites.

Finally got to watch Stax: Soulsville U.S.A on MAX and it was even better than I expected. I had chills throughout. Thanks for recommending!

I had never watched Otis Redding perform before. DAMN. Then I found his whole performance at Monterey also on MAX. And THEN I found out he wrote Respect. Mind blown multiple times.
