“The Stax label was the brainchild of two White music lovers, Jim Stewart and his sister Estelle Axton, who started the label in 1960. The sound was like no other in the industry. Gospel-tinged voices that belonged in the choir of a packed storefront church were now accompanied by slick musicianship to create an unforgettable volume of original music. The label's first hit was ‘Gee Whiz’ by Carla Thomas” (Lottie Joiner, Tony Jones, Crisis, 2003).
