In Memphis, tiny Stax Records grew into a soul powerhouse by ignoring the color line, Black and white musicians collaborated at this studio even as segregation gripped the South. They crafted anthems like Sam & Dave’s jubilant “Soul Man” and Otis Redding’s poignant “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay,” forging a legacy that transcended racial divides.
