What began as a tiny record store in an old movie theater in Memphis, Tennessee, Stax Records grew to become one of the most important music recording studios in the world. When Stax Records began in the heart of Soulsville USA, it began launching the careers of unknowns who would become icons, cranking out a massive catalog of smash soul hits by the likes of Isaac Hayes, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Albert King, Booker T. & the MG's, Johnnie Taylor, and dozens of other artists whose influence remains vital in the music of today. Stax Records has also recorded Rev. Jesse Jackson, Bill Cosby, Moms Mabley and Richard Pryor.
The Stax Museum of American Soul Music pays tribute to all of the artists who recorded there with a rare and amazing collection of more than 2,000 interactive exhibits, films, artifacts, items of memorabilia, and galleries designed to keep Stax alive forever. As the only soul music museum in the world, it also spotlights America's other major soul music pioneers, including the sounds of Muscle Shoals, Motown, Hi, and Atlantic Records, spotlighting the contributions of such soul pioneers as Ike & Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, The Jackson Five, Ann Peebles, Al Green, Sam Cooke, James Brown, Ray Charles, and many others.
