Interesting Facts of the Week- (Just a couple this week, but I think they are interesting and meaningful ones.)
- Linda Lyndell, a white girl who grew up singing in both black and white gospel churches, had a hit with Stax called "What A Man" - its success gave rise to threats against her from white supremacist groups, halting her career.
- In 1993, Salt-n-Pepa sampled "What a Man" for their hit single "Whatta Man;" as a result, Lyndell started playing live again, and performed "What A Man" live for the first time ever at the Stax Museum in 2003.
