Here is the Guardianβs own 2004 obit for Estelle Axton, which correctly identifies her as cofounder of the Memphis label #StaxRecords (todayβs obit for her brother Jim oddly excludes her role entirely) https://www.theguardian.com/news/2004/feb/28/guardianobituaries.artsobituaries #music
This obituary for Jim Stewart calls him a "founder of #StaxRecords" β he was a cofounder of the label with his sister Estelle Axton ("st" + "ax"), who is strangely not mentioned in the article https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/dec/06/jim-stewart-founder-of-stax-records-dies-aged-92 #music
Producer Jim Stewart is overleden. Samen met zijn zus Estelle Axton (STewart en AXton) richtte hij in 61 het label Stax Records op, bekend van oa Otis Redding, Booker T en Isaac Hayes. Stewart werd 92 jaar. #jimstewart #staxrecords #muziek

"#Wattstax was a benefit concert organized by #StaxRecords to commemorate the seventh anniversary of the 1965 riots in the African-American community of #Watts, #LosAngeles. The concert took place at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on August 20, 1972. The concert's performers included all of Stax's prominent artists at the time. The genres of the songs performed included #soul, #gospel, #RnB, #blues, #funk, and #jazz. Months after the festival, Stax released a double LP of the concert's highlights titled Wattstax: The Living Word. The concert was filmed by David L. Wolper's film crew and was made into the 1973 film titled, Wattstax. The film was directed by Mel Stuart and nominated for a Golden Globe award for Best Documentary Film in 1974. β¦"
