'Respect Yourself'

'The STAX Records Story'


Respect Yourself is the story of STAX Records in Memphis, Tennessee, which became the pre-eminent Soul music label in the United States during the Civil Rights era. The label released a massive catalogue of chart-topping singles between 1959 and 1975, from artists such as Isaac Hayes, The Staple Singers, Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, Eddie Floyd & Booker T & The MG's.

'Down to Earth'

On April 4 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, on the eve of a peaceful march. On the 40th anniversary of this tragic event, we present “Down To Earth”, a short-film documentary about the magical relationship that flourished between the civil rights movement and soul music in the 60s, when the black community fought for equal rights in a country that still lived under racial segregation.
