Very cool treatment of both Motown and Beatles songs done by Stax artists:
- Soulsville Sings Hitsville
- STAX Does The Beatles
Why these compilations are so under the radar, I'm not so sure, but a lot of takes on both of these albums are great. They include Stax staples like Booker T and the MGs, the Staple Singers, David Porter, and more. (Isaac Hayes does a 12 minute rendition of George Harrison's "Something." Wow!)
The best part about Stax Recording artists is that they do the funk thing and the pop thing at the same time; so to take some of the best pop music of the 60s, only to funkify it, that's a recipe for a great spread!
