Watched the #Stax Respect Yourself documentary tonight. So much incredible music came out of that converted movie theater. Following it up tomorrow with the 9 CD Stax/Volt 59-68 box set. #RufusThomas #IsaacHayes #BookerT #OtisRedding #StapleSingers #CarlaThomas …..

The #JukeboxFridayNight topic gifted to us by our NZ friends is #ItTakesTwo.
There have already been a few mentions of Carla Thomas, for her duets with Otis Redding. But I'm going to start with one of the songs she recorded with her dad Rufus.
I believe that 'Cause I Love You (not to be confused with Slade's Coz I Luv You) was the first big hit for Stax records. Anyway, it's a superb example of how brilliantly Rufus and Carla's voices fit together.

Final duet...
I fucking LOVE this, Otis and Carla having FUN. I have it on an old lp King and Queen.

Carla Thomas is 80 today. She was born 1942 - quite obviously in Memphis.
Happy birthday to the Queen!

I just found out that this past Monday, #JimStewart, founder of #staxrecords passed away at the age of 92 (we all should be so lucky). There's so much I could say about the power and influence of Stax records, I don't even know where to begin. I'll just post these instead:
