Arguably the greatest soul horn section ever, the Memphis Horns were a critical part of the Stax formula during the 1960s and 1970s, as well as prolific contributors to numerous other sessions since the label's demise.

Although today the name is identified with the duo of trumpeter Wayne Jackson and tenor saxophonist Andrew Love, the band at one time also included tenor saxophonist Ed Logan, trombonists Lewis Collins and Jack Hale, and baritone saxophonist James Mitchell. This was the lineup that recorded for RCA in the 1970s, cutting albums produced by Booker T. Jones and others. They also backed King Curtis and Aretha Franklin in the 1970s. But they are best known for appearances on songs by virtually every Stax artist.

In 1992, the duo of Jackson and Love issued their own album for an independent label.
