The music produced at Stax Records had an influence on the Beatles, Rolling Stones, a lot of reggae and hip hop artists as well... A lot of famous tracks of popular music have their roots there...
The 26.000 USD Cadillac (with TV, minibar and gold a bit everywhere) that Isacc Hayes bought thanks to the money he earned with the "Theme from Shaft", early 70s... His "bling bling" style was somewhat criticized
