I don't know about "many" at least not compared to Motown but Isaac, Sam & Dave, Otis, Rufus, Johnnie Taylor and Booker T & the M.G.'s definitely laid the groundwork for soul music's global dominance... like I said, I give it up to Stax and they were just as much in the fight for civil rights and black excellence as Motown but Motown was ALWAYS on a wider scale...
