That right there is some classic Memphis soul. It's not even my favorite of their songs (mainly because it's the only one that ever gets played anymore, leading to some burn), but it's great.
Sometimes I think people don't care about Stax anymore, even though they sure do their part in reissuing, reissuing, reissuing. But who can blame them? With a catalogue like that, I'd mine it all the time too. It deserves it. Get the music out there until every damn man and woman has been exposed. Make them know they need it. They need a hearty helping of Memphis soul stew.

Classic.
This is being inducted into the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress this year.

It was sampled in a song from the summer of 1996, but I don't remember what it was called.

One of the best songs of all-time. I'm glad to hear it's getting saved by the LoC. They've got a great selection this year- "Coat of Many Colors," A Charlie Brown Christmas, "I Feel Love," Purple Rain, Mothership Connection, "Bo Diddley"... Those are some seriously iconic recordings.

An absolute classic that's been used in countless movies, TV shows, and commercials.
Peaked at #1 on the R&B chart and #3 on the Hot 100.
