Just found out that "Respect Yourself/The Stax Records Story" which aired on PBS last month is coming to DVD on Oct. 2. Amazon & CD Universe are taking pre-orders for the set.

Here 'tis ...  >> Funky. Emotional. Raw. Powerful. That was soul music in the Civil Rights era; and Stax Records did it like no other. Stax quickly became a hit-making machine, producing a massive catalog of Top 100 records that defined the "Memphis Sound;" such as "Soul Man," "(Sittin On) The Dock Of The Bay," "Green Onions," "Midnight Hour," "I'll Take You There," "Respect Yourself," "Theme from Shaft" and many more. Stax also launched the careers of a who's-who of soul music greats: Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, The Staple Singers, Isaac Hayes, Eddie Floyd, Carla and Rufus Thomas, Albert King and Booker T. and the MGs, to name just a few. Now, with the release of this exciting new DVD, Grammy-nominated filmakers Robert Gordon and Morgan Neville ("Muddy Waters Can't Be Satisfied") present the first comprehensive look at Stax, the greatest soul label of all time. <<https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UD2K32/?tag=imwan-20

I'd say the greatest soul labels are:
1. Motown (okay, so they were a bit pop)
2. Atlantic (Ray Charles invented soul)
3. Stax (I was really happy to catch Mavis Staples and her sister live)
