- Stax Records and their Memphis studio. At work are Isaac Hayes, Booker T & the MGs, the Memphis Horns, Bettye Crutcher, and at Fame Studios Brook Benton and more. After a brief French commentary:- a horn arrangement for The Emotions' So I Can Love You is worked out around a table. House band Booker T & the MGs (Steve Cropper, Al Jackson & Donald 'Duck' Dunn) try out the original extended intro version of 'Time is Tight'. In-house songwriter Bettye Crutcher gets asked about the Memphis sound. Over at Fame Studios in nearby Muscle Shoals, Brook Benton is recording She Knows What To Do For Me for his Do Your Own Thing album, together with Eddie Hinton and Barry Beckett.
Wayne Jackson, Andrew Love and Bar Kay Ben Cauley have been identified as the horn section with Isaac Hayes (thanks to Thad Brown and Carousel Red!). Can anyone provide any more details? "We did something different on 'Everyday People'" refers to the Staple Sisters recording the Sly Stone song with these guys (thanks Peter McLennan). Thanks to the 'EP's Vaults 2' channel for pointing out that it is Bettye Crutcher being interviewed (not Carla Thomas as I mistakenly assumed).
The Stax Studio is now the Stax Museum of American Soul Music.
FAME (Florence Alabama Music Enterprises) Studios is still operating.
This clip was originally broadcast in France on 19.04.1969, as 'Le Blues de Memphis', as one of a series of mini-documentaries called 'À l'affiche du monde' often featuring contemporary music from USA, UK and elsewhere. Another studio session was captured - the debut album recording by the Flying Dutchman Records label with top musicians, 'Hollywood Blues', here: • Plaster Caster Blues B...

Time when singers and musicians sang and played real instruments and songs were not made with artificial intelligence.
That was great. Thanks. I just finished watching the STAX documentary on Netflix. Even though was 13 years old in 1968, I learned a lot about what was happening at that time. I was more into horses than politics though I remember the assassination of MLK and RFK, etc.
Seeing them work out the horn arrangement around the board room table instead of in the studio is hilarious and awesome to me for some reason
Absolutely amazed by this, I've been a Stax fan for forty years or so and l don't recall seeing this before. MGs in the studio - awesome! Thanks.
So, Issac could play the horn too?
Bettye Crutcher was a great songwriter. I met her & spent a few minutes with her & pretty much, walked away with a new crush.
This was around the beginning of the end for STAX. I don’t think they were working with Atlantic and Jerry Wexler anymore as he’d settled into Muscle Shoals or bringing the Swampers to NY to record. Also, the previous year, Dr. King had been assassinated just a few miles from there. As color blind as the Memphis music scene had been to that point, there was a devide that never fully healed. Cropper would have his own studio soon after this, and Issac hit the big screen with Shaft.
