BBC4 had an amazing (the 2nd hour anyway, which was all i caught) Stax doc a few weeks back. The footage of him doing Walk On By was just immense. Loved the story of how he made it too - Al Bell deicded they were putting out so many albums at the same time, there was nothing riding on Hot Buttered Soul, he could do whatever he wanted.

Despite his monumental music career, I will always remember him as Asneeze from Robin Hood Men in Tights.
