MEMPHIS ROCK AND SOUL - MEMPHIS SOUL REVUE

It was not your typical hot June day in Memphis. STAX Records had recently closed its doors and Beale Street was being disassembled and gutted. Main Street was going to get a new look as they ripped the streets apart for a new Downtown Mall. Nothing short of a miracle could get the greatest Rhythm and Blues legends of all time together for one last concert on Main Street. When you listen to Mack Rice sing "Mustang Sally" or Eddie Floyd do "I've Never Found a Girl" with Marvel Thomas leading his band Funn on keyboards, you know it doesn't get any better in Soulsville. But then Rufus Thomas struts out steppin' to the "Funky Chicken" and George Parks sings "Wake Me Up Before You Leave". People were leaving their 9 to 5's to join the party and see these STAX legends give their best and last performance on Main Street, Memphis, Tennessee. This was history in the making, now finally available for those who were there to remember the "Glory Days", and those who weren't there experience the magic for the first time. It is good to know that the musical legacy Jim Stewart and Estelle Axton created in Memphis in 1959 will live on forever.
