Taking a bit of an inspiration from John's Motown Poll, what about Stax/Volt ? What a label – and if I'm honest (which I am) I have a preference for the Stax/Volt output over Motown anyway. Nothing against Motown, but they did not have: Otis YouTube link Sam & Dave YouTube link Eddie Floyd YouTube link Booker T And The MGs YouTube link YouTube link Adn for all you Test Match Cricket fans out there: YouTube link |

Joe Chambers' Musicians Hall of Fame channel is a fantastic rabbit hole.
Stories from Back in the Day, when hundreds of disc jockeys decided what went out over the air. 👍
Now we have only 3 or 4 companies that own the radio stations.
And the results are predictable. Blues Brothers! And Punching the air on "Time is Tight". |

Programmed radio with no or just some celebrity DJ has really destroyed radio as a channel to new music. Yeah, you can find it all on the internet but having a trusted custodian of the sounds who you could rely on to bring you stuff you'd like and maybe challenge you occasionally was a great thing. Especially if you happen to be driving or working manually. Yeah, a blessing on the Blues Brothers who saved so many people from sliding into obscurity. |
