Sharon Tandy was demonstratably NOT the first white artist to record for Stax. Sharon Tandy's Stax session took place in 1966, and I can find no evidence that it was ever released on Stax. (It came out on Atlantic, I believe.) Meanwhile, the label's very first release in 1961 was by the all-white band The Mar-Keys, albeit the band was augmented by black session musicians.
A little while later, still in 1961, Macy Skipper recorded a weird sort of comedy sketch/rockabilly number; Nick Charles (a white DJ) recorded two singles for the label in 1962; white teenage sisters Cheryl & Fam Johnson recorded a Stax single in 1963.

Anonymous--your liner notes aren't definitive history. Release dates are not the same as signing dates or recording dates. Instead of just deleting content, you could reword so that others can still benefit from what was communicated. The fact that you consider she wasn't the first white person to sign at Stax may or may not be true. You should at least have the courtesy to reword the article so that people know she was one of the first, etc. as this is significant for that label & for her. She is still alive, so why don't you ask her? The fact that you don't know something, is not proof that it isn't so. Present definitive information saying she wasn't w/ Stax...then delete what others have contributed.
In fact, it looks like you deleted cited references. WTF!? I'm thinking we need to revert all your changes! I mean 172.162.19.211's liner notes isn't anything verifiable, is it? Well that is all from Rob Bowman too. Liner notes are great and handy, but your sources of information need to broaden.
Now obviously not everything that is recorded is released, and everything that was released isn't on Amazon.com for purchase. That doesn't mean she didn't record! I'm thinking that reverting your previous work needs to happen, until you can effective PROVE with CITATIONS that it shouldn't be. Even then, it should be left on the article as a "debatable", since you seem to be the only one arguing against it, and your just an anonymous user, or editing as such.
You could contribute instead of taking away! BTW, why don't you make an account & sign your posts? Very easy. Avé[[]] 20:55, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
