About

 The team of Booker T. and William Bell is one of the great music matches of all time, and it's a real shame that label politics led to each of them getting fed up with the system and heading their separate ways.  Bound To Happen stands tall, however, as defiant proof that Stax could have had the same magic after the Atlantic deal ended had they simply done what they always used to do - put the artists first, and let the Stax family flourish as a result.  I guess that Stax becoming a business first and a record label second was Bound To Happen, but that didn't stop the partnership between William Bell and Booker T. from delivering one last urgent slice of that good ol' Memphis soul sound. – Rate Your Music
