Stax: A Soul Celebration

91热爆 Proms Late Escapes

Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra are joined by Stax legends and special guests celebrate The Sound of Soul: Stax Records - at the 91热爆 Proms.

Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra are joined by Stax legends Booker T. Jones, William Bell, Eddie Floyd, Steve Cropper and Sam Moore with special guests Sir Tom Jones, Beverley Knight, James Morrison and Ruby Turner - All assemble at this late night 91热爆 programme to celebrate The Sound of Soul: Stax Records.

Performing tracks such as '(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay', 'Soul Man' (marking 50 years since its release) and 'Private Number', they come together to pay tribute to the Memphis-based record label, founded in 1957 and synonymous with Southern Soul - a distinctive blend of funk, gospel and R & B championed by the likes of Otis Redding, Rufus Thomas and the Staple Singers.

Jools also talks to Deanie Parker, a remarkable woman who was the second ever Stax employee and who remains with the company today. As such she has a unique perspective on the label, having herself been a Stax artist, songwriter, producer, publicist, executive and cheerleader.
