STAX recording studio where many music legends such as the Staple Singers, Al Green, Otis Redding and apparently Elvis (Christopher found some recordings Elvis at Stax) recorded many records and hits. The studio was converted from a movie theatre. The museum included videos from the folks that helped create the place and keep it running. They loved working there. Apparently at some point they needed financing and brought in professional help that managed them right out of business. The people said they lost the comradery, passion, and spirt beginning the day Martin Luther King died. One person said if MLK had not died Stax records would still be here today. The good news it is now a school for performing arts, holds many events and is a museum housing great artifacts and performances
