This was shown on Friday as well I stumbled upon it the same as you very interesting documentry on Stax .I liked the footage of Rufus thomas and the crowd doing the "Funky Chicken" dont forget to tape it.

That Stax documentary was on one of my videos going on for 10 years ago...funny how it's resurfaced...it was originally shown on Channel 4

I came across this.Sure I saw the film Wattstax advertised as well.

I really enjoyed watching that again. Quite a few times I laughed out loud. Especially where the lady has totally lost it at the back of the church.
