Stax Records was a music studio and record label in Memphis, Tennessee that not only launched the careers of Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, Sam and Dave and many more Southern soul stars, but also provided a soundtrack to tolerance and change in an era of segregation and racial tension. Trevor Reekie talks to author Robert Gordon about his new book, Respect Yourself: Stax Records and the Soul Explosion.
