Prom 65: Stax Records: 50 Years of Soul
Live from the Royal Albert Hall, Jools Holland pays tribute to Stax Records with original stars Eddie Floyd, William Bell, Booker T Jones and Steve Cropper.
Live at the Royal Albert Hall, London, Jools Holland and special guests celebrate Stax Records and Memphis Soul.
Presented by Andrew McGregor
Founded in 1957, Memphis-based Stax Records was synonymous with Southern Soul - a distinctive blend of funk, gospel and R&B that brought listeners across America together at a time of racial conflict and political unrest. From humble beginnings in a garage the label went on to produce some of the greatest soul artists: Otis Redding, Carla Thomas, and Sam and Dave, to mention a few.
Jools Holland and His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra pay tribute to the pioneering label and celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Stax/Volt Revue's first tour of the UK. In this Late Night Prom some of Stax's greatest surviving artists come to London: Eddie Floyd, Sam Moore, Booker T Jones, Steve Cropper and William Bell. On stage with them is Tom Jones, a longtime fan of the Stax hits which influenced his own style. Joining them will be other guests including Beverley Knight, James Morrison and Ruby Turner.
