They say that the ‘summer of love’ came to crashing halt in 1968 – no place more so than in Memphis.
In the Summer of ’67, everything was coming up roses for Stax Records but as 1968 dawned, they lost their biggest star in a plane crash, they then lost their biggest remaining stars, their distribution deal was swept away from them and their entire catalog was stolen by shyster lawyers. Then, as a capper, Martin Luther King was shot virtually in their backyard. This easily could have been the end for Stax. Instead, it was just the end of a phase.
