Legendary Stax Guitarist Bobby Manuel
This week 'The Voice of Memphis' interviews Bobby Manuel, a legend in the Memphis Music scene.
Bobby Manuel joined Stax Records in the late 1960s and stayed through the label’s bitter end in 1975, after which he and Stax founder Jim Stewart opened Daily Planet studio and began doing independent productions together. At Stax, Manuel was a jack-of-all-trades, working as an engineer, mixer, songwriter, producer, and tour bandleader. But first and foremost, Bobby was and is a guitarist.
He has recorded with Elvis Presley, Isaac Hayes, Al Green, Albert King, Little Milton, Billy Eckstine, Rufus Thomas, The MGs, Luther Ingram, The Bar-Kays, Leon Russell, John Mayall, Anne Peebles, Mavis Staples, and Eddie Floyd.
After the demise of Stax Records, Manuel and Stax founder Jim Stewart operated a studio and production company. Shirley Brown was among their most notable signings. He later ran his own label, HighStacks (named to recall the glory of former Memphis R&B labels, Hi Records and Stax).
In 2004, Manuel organized and led a group of Memphis All-Stars with guest appearances by Marvell Thomas and Steve Cropper to celebrate the opening of the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, backing legends such as Isaac Hayes, Mavis Staples, Eddie Floyd,William Bell, Solomon Burke, and Al Green who performed in honor of the label.
