Praised by AllMusic as "one of the finest soul albums of the early '70s," "Starting All Over Again" was the Stax debut from Chicago soul vocal duo (and cousins) Mel & Tim, released in 1972 on Stax Records. Mel Hardin and Tim McPherson rose to fame in 1969 with the hit "Backfield in Motion," on Gene Chandler’s Bamboo label. The cousins signed a deal with Stax soon after, where they went to work on the “Starting All Over” album produced by Phillip Mitchell and recorded at the legendary Muscle Shoals Sound Studio. The album's title track became a Top Five R&B smash single, spending an impressive 20 weeks on the Billboard charts. Two decades later, the song hit the charts again when Hall & Oates covered it. Mel & Tim performed at the late-1972 charity concert Wattstax and were featured in the documentary film of the same name, singing “I May Not Be What You Want.” The duo released a self-titled album in 1973, their final commercial release.

ABOUT STAX RECORDS
Stax Records, now owned by Concord, was founded by Jim Stewart in 1957 in Memphis, Tennessee. It rose from a small, family-operated company to become one of the most influential soul music record labels in the world, helping create “The Memphis Sound” and launching the careers of icons such as Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, Booker T. & the M.G.’s, the Staple Singers, Sam & Dave, Rufus and Carla Thomas, The Bar-Kays, and dozens of other artists who helped change popular culture forever. In all, Stax placed 167 hit songs in the Top 100 in Pop and 243 hits in the Top 100 in R&B.

Stax Records works closely with the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, the Stax Music Academy, and The Soulsville Charter School, all operated by the Soulsville Foundation and all located on a vibrant campus at the original site of Stax Records in Memphis, TN. The Soulsville Foundation perpetuates the soul of Stax Records by preserving its rich cultural legacy, educating youth to be prepared for life success, and inspiring future artists to achieve their dreams.
