The book's mission is to document the legends of the Memphis soul
music business. Photographer Thom Gilbert set up a photo studio at
Royal Studios in Memphis, home of the famed Hi Records that
launched the careers of Al Green, Ann Peebles, and dozens of
others. The studio's "green room" was filled with soul music
royalty: Bobby "Blue" Bland in his signature nautical cap, several
of the Hodges brothers who make up the incomparable Hi Rhythm
Section were on hand, Stax Records musicians Bobby Manuel, Lester
Snell were there actually working on a recording, but pausing to
have their portraits taken. Gilbert has captured images of what
seems like every living person related to Memphis soul music. From
Rev. Jesse Jackson, who recorded spoken word albums on Stax s
Respect Records label, to Sam Moore of the indelible soul duo Sam
& Dave, Carla Thomas, Steve Cropper, B.B. King, Bobby Rush, and
many others, including the lesser known but equally vital session
players, writers, engineers, publicists who contributed to what is
now world renowned as The Memphis Sound.
