Back in that day we owned three record shops around Memphis. The Disc & Tape was in Collierville, Southland Mall & Bartlett. We bought wholesale from Poplar on some things. Went to record release shin-digs. One I remember clearly was a release for a record by the Temptations. A lot of those people you mentioned were there. Rufus was there, & Isaac Hayes with his gaggle of bald beauties. (Our son went to Montessori school with Isaac’s kids.) There were four white people at that party, us and two of our friends. Great party. But I still hate Memphis.
I don't know if Southland Mall is still in open. Whitehaven is pretty much a slum area, was once the place to live. Barlett is alright.
