Jones, Steve Cropper (guitar), Lewie Steinberg (bass), and Al Jackson Jr. (drums).

As originators of the unique Stax sound, the group was one of the most prolific, respected, and imitated of its era.

Southern soul is a type of soul music that emerged from the Southern United States. The music originated from a combination of styles, including blues, country, early R&B, and a strong gospel influence that emanated from the sounds of Southern black churches. Bass guitar, drums, horn section, and gospel roots vocal are important to soul groove. This rhythmic force made it a strong influence in the rise of funk music. The terms "deep soul", "country soul", "downhome soul" and "hard soul" have been used synonymously with "Southern soul".p. 18
