Features many of the greatest names in soul music together on one stellar compilation: ISAAC HAYES, STAPLE SINGERS, JOHNNIE TAYLOR, BOOKER T. & THE MG's and more
Stax Records is where Southern soul became a global force in music. The label, which recently celebrated its 50th anniversary, gave rise to a number of stars - many hailing from its Southeast Memphis neighborhood. During the '60s and into the '70s, Stax studio was a wellspring of hit records that topped both the R&B and pop charts. On March 30, 2010, Stax Records - now operating within Concord Music Group - will release Stax Number Ones, an compilation of 15 chart-topping hits by Stax' best-known artists.
Stax Records has placed more than 175 hit songs on Billboard's Hot 100 pop charts as well as a staggering 250 hits on the R&B charts. Stax Number Ones represents all 15 songs that hit #1 on either chart from the label's golden era. It is a perfect sampling of classic Stax.
