PBS This Week: Don’t Miss the Memphis Soul Stars Sam Moore, Mavis Staples, and…Justin Timberlake!

Share

PBS isn’t doing much to promote their “Memphis Soul” show tonight– so let me do it. It’s running at 8pm on most PBS channels. (WNET is hiding it on their website. I don’t know why.) There are classic performances on this show– Sam Moore singing “Soul Man” and “When Something is Wrong with My Baby,” Mavis Staples doing “I’ll Take You There,” Eddie Floyd– “Knock on Wood,” and Justin Timberlake very convincing on “Dock of the Bay.” Booker T. Jones is the musical director. It should be a great edited version of the live show which was streamed from the White House on April 9th.
