Founded by a conservative white bank teller who played country fiddle, Stax became the pre-eminent soul music label in America. The label's artists included Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, even Richard Pryor and Jesse Jackson. Its story is entwined with the civil rights movement of the 60s and the rise of Black Nationalism in the 70s. Respect Yourself documents the Stax label, its visionaries and most of all, its music. Narrated by Samuel L. Jackson.

Incredible Performances

Comments about PBS Great Performances: Respect Yourself: The Stax Records Story DVD:

This program was so intense it struck me to my soul. I had to watch it twice because I couldn't believe what I was seeing. After that nothing could stop me from running to the computer and ordering it so I could experience this event with friends. Otis Redding's performances brought tears to my eyes and the information about the evolution of Stax Records and the artists was fantastic. Great research.
