Atlantic---and Jerry Wexler-- raped and pillaged Mr. Stewart and the STAX label then discarded the carcass and STOLE the catalogue. One of the biggest robberies in history.
Ever watched Spies Like Us with Chevy Chase & Blues Brother Dan Aykroyd? It's "Soul Finger" by The Barkays. The original group except for the great bassist James Alexander (who wasn't on the plane), and the only survivor (trumpeter Ben Cauley) died w/ the KING of SOUL Otis Redding.
I have to say, I think Stax is amazing. I am a native Memphian, and I have visited the museum twice. It's just amazing, and I can't wait for the renovation of Memphis Slim's home. I'll have to return to my hometown just so I can see it.

Stax was way better than Motown, better acts, better sound and most of all songs that taught everyone to respect each other
