Скачать или смотреть 'Le Blues de Memphis' - French Documentary [Colourised] 1969

I've posted a version of this before but hopefully this is a slight upgrade in quality. A rare glimps into the Stax & FAME/Muscle Shoals studios back in 1968.

I don't make anything colourising and putting these videos together so please support the channel with the link here if you can its greatly appreciated! https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/bluesincolour

Legendary Stax Records was built around its Memphis studio. At work are Isaac Hayes, Booker T & the MGs, the Memphis Horns, Bettye Crutcher, and at Fame Studios, Brook Benton and more. A brief French commentary is followed by a horn arrangement being cooked up by Isaac Hayes for The Emotions' So I Can Love You 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 excellent guitarist Eddie Hinton and Barry Beckett on Hammond.

Wayne Jackson, Andrew Love and Bar Kay Ben Cauley are there as the horn section with Isaac Hayes. "We did something different on 'Everyday People'" refers to the Staple Sisters recording the Sly Stone song with these guys.
