Description
Stax Records was founded in 1957 (as Satellite Records) by Jim Stewart, and later co-owned by his sister, Estelle Axton. The label was renamed to Stax Records in 1961, from the first two letters or the siblings respective last names. Known mainly for its Southern soul and Memphis soul music, Stax has also released numerous significant recordings in the blues, gospel, and funk genres. The importance of Stax cannot be overstated. In fact, Stax is known as the label that launched Otis Redding and Booker T and the MGs, among others. The company declared bankruptcy in 1975 and closed its doors. Today, the Stax catalog is owned by Concord Records. Notable artists: Otis Redding, Albert King, John Lee Hooker, Booker T, Carla Thomas and many more.
