BBC Proms - 2017x65 Stax Records: 50 Years of Soul

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.

In this Late Night Prom 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 a concert featuring some of the label’s greatest surviving artists. Stax legends Booker T. Jones and Sam Moore will appear alongside Sir Tom Jones, a longtime fan and interpreter of the Stax songbook.

Both Booker T. Jones and Sam Moore were part of the 1967 and join fellow Stax artists William Bell, Steve Cropper and Eddie Floyd. They are joined by Beverley Knight, James Morrison and Ruby Turner.
