Any of our Ireland and UK folk catch the documentary on BBC4 last night about the Stax label followed by a one hour gig from Norway featuring Booker T and the MGs, Sam and Dave, Eddie Floyd, Otis Redding and others? Fucking ace. Those guys could play and sing.....and flippin' dance as well. The gig's on the iplayer now: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00cp52sAh, yeah....they don't make 'em like that any more... *sits back with slippers on and lights pipe*

lol I don't oh no wait I do I don't have BBC4 and I've no internet at home. Yes!
Er...I mean sorry I missed it michael. My brother was playing a Sam & Dave CD when I was home last week. Surprising how many songs I knew off it. One of those artists where the songs are more famous than the artists I guess.

You've just redeemed yourself, Kez....!
Yeah, you're right. I bought one of their compilations recently and was surprised to be singing along to some of their tunes I didn't realise I knew.

Oh oh oh! I missed it due to a whining baby, and can't find the documentary on iplayer on the telly, only online. No time for that, feeding in front of the computer is so much more complicated... Love Stax, I take it there was a bit of Isaac Hayes luuurve going on? He the man, you know...

There certainly was, Karo. Co-author of Soul Man and Hold On I'm Coming as well as much, much more.
There was some footage on the documentary of the Shaft movie and soundtrack and him at the Oscars with his granny... ;D
Indeed he is da man!

Yeah, heard that last night and thought of you, Karo. Very sad indeed. Well, he's left us some great tunes, so that's something, eh?
All together now - SHAFT!! ;D
