The Stax studio, Soulsville, produced tremendous soul, blues and instrumental music. An bluesier, more rhythmic and gritter soul than the Motown sound. Stax studio had the good fortune of having Booker T. & The MGs as their studio band. Booker T. Jones (organ, piano), Steve Cropper (guitar), Lewie Steinberg | Donald "Duck" Dunn (bass), and Al Jackson, Jr. (drums). started as kids from the neighborhood. Stax Reocrds churned out steaming chunks of funky soul right up until Atlantic Records ran the ship aground.
