July 12, 2021 Records of the Day

As the Funk Brothers was the studio band for Motown, so was the Mar-Keys for Stax Records where some of the greatest Soul songs of the sixties were recorded. In 1961 the Mar-Keys hit #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 with the instrumental “Last Night.” The single on Satellite Records can now sell for $30.00. In the mid-seventies, the NBA on NBC used “Last Night” as background music. The hit can also be heard in the movies “Blues Brothers 2000,” and “Rush Hour 3.” The “Last Night” album, released on Atlantic Records, is worth up to $150.00 today.
