CH. 11 PBS TV Great Performances: Respect Yourself: The Stax Records Story
A history of Stax Records: (More info) http://www.pbs.org/wnet/gperf/shows/stax/index.html
Podcast: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/gperf/shows/podcast.html

Between 1959 and 1975, Stax Records in Memphis, Tennessee released international chart-topping hits such as "Soul Man," "Dock of the Bay," "Green Onions," "Midnight Hour," "Respect Yourself," and the theme from SHAFT. The label's artists included Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Booker T. & the MG's, Rufus and Carla Thomas, the Staple Singers, Isaac Hayes, and even Richard Pryor and Jesse Jackson. Founded by a white conservative bank teller who played country fiddle music, Stax became the preeminent soul music label in America, and became identified with the civil rights movement of the 1960s and '70s. RESPECT YOURSELF documents the Stax label, its visionaries, and most of all, its music.

Legendary DJ Dick Biondi is still spinning records Getting fired when you're 73 years old usually means retirement, especially in a youth-obsessed business like radio. So when WJMK 104.3-FM abruptly changed formats in June 2005 and kicked Dick Biondi off the air, it seemed the beloved Chicago DJ was being put out to pasture.

Thu 6/4 Thursday Artist Portrait! The Rolling Stones http://www.wdrv.com/thursdayartistportrait.php The collaboration of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, much like that of Lennon and McCartney, produced one of the most powerful forces in rock history. But unlike the Beatles meteoric rise and supernova dissolution, The Rolling Stones built their legend piece by piece over their first decade and continued to add milestones all throughout their 40 plus (and counting) year career. Their incredibly dynamic, enthralling live performances have set the standard for live shows for much of the past four decades.
