Richard Pryor, Bill Cosby, even Jesse Jackson recorded at Stax
Hall of Records
Of all the exhibits in the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, it's this particular one that visitors find it hard to leave. With a winding hallway covered with 912 singles and 292 full length albums, the sheer volume of the music recorded at Stax takes on a new life when shown together this way. Displayed in order of release date, the collection of recordings in this "Hall of Records" helps not only take you through the history of the hits, but also exhibits the amazing album cover art work that illustrates the uniqueness of Stax. "Walk on By," "Your Good thing Is about to End," "Do the Funky Chicken" - music that ushered in a new era, all recorded & released by Stax Records, and now displayed back home. It is the most amusing display of creativity and productivity in the music world. You will stand in awe.
