60 years ago this summer, Stax Records’ biggest stars landed in the City of Angels for a two-night residency at South LA’s 5-4 Ballroom. Billed as the Stax Revue, the whirlwind visit was a milestone for the young Memphis soul label and marked the first time that many of the artists on the bill—Rufus & Carla Thomas, Booker T. & The M.G.’s, The Mar-Keys, The Mad Lads, Wilson Pickett, and William Bell—had played to a Los Angeles audience.

Scott Ward Productions is proud to announce the release of "I Believe I'll Run On: A Tribute to Wilson Pickett" on September 20, 2024. This electrifying album pays homage to the legendary soul singer Wilson Pickett, known for his powerful vocals, electrifying stage presence, and unforgettable contributions to soul music. The project brings together a remarkable lineup of musicians to celebrate the life and legacy of the "Wicked" Pickett, drawing inspiration from his incredible body of work.
