Memphis & Oscar
Soul legend Isaac Hayes, who helped build Stax into a powerhouse record label, became the first African-American to win an Academy Award for music, for 1971’s "Theme from Shaft." The first African-American group to win a song-writing Oscar was another Memphis act, rappers Three 6 Mafia, who won the 2006 best song Oscar for “It’s Hard out Here for a Pimp,” from Hustle and Flow.
