Description
RE-PRESS: CD ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2010 (1976/77)
The original group’s first single ‘Soul Finger’ had become an instant classic and international hit which is still popular today.
Stax’s top artist, Otis Redding chose the band to be his regular road musicians a decision that ended in tragedy on December 10th 1967 when Redding, King, Caldwell, Jones and Cunningham all perished when their private plane crashed. Only Ben Cauley survived and James Alexander had not boarded the flight.
Despite this tragedy Cauley and Alexander with Allen Jones helped reform the group which culminated in their work with Isaac Hayes on his pioneering 1969 album, ‘Hot Buttered Soul’.
