Stax documentary on PBS

I was very lucky the other night to catch by chance Respect Yourself: The Stax Records Story on PBS. The traditional montage of interviews, vintage footage, and (minimal) narration by Samuel L. Jackson served very well, as the music, and even more so the old concert footage, stand strong all on their own. I'm considering ordering the DVD, because I'd easily watch this several more times. So many great moments, from concert performances by Otis Redding, or the Staple Singers, or Sam and Dave on the European tour of '67; to Jesse Jackson in a dashiki raising his fist to a crowd of 100,000 in Watts, before introducing Isaac Hayes; to the old session player explaining that Stax at its height replaced cotton as the biggest industry in Memphis, Tennessee. Check your local listings, as this is a musical and cultural treat not to be missed. Not to mention the simple fact that the classic rise-and-fall storyline puts any hair band Behind the Music episode to shame. (See: auctioning off of Isaac Hayes' custom gold plated Cadillac to skeptical white southern businessmen.)
