What are the differences between the way sessions were run at Motown and Stax?

At Motown, sessions were highly structured and meticulously planned, with a strong emphasis on polished production and a distinct sound, often featuring the "Funk Brothers" as the house band. In contrast, Stax embraced a more informal and spontaneous approach, encouraging live, organic performances that highlighted the raw talent of artists and musicians like Booker T. & the MG's. While Motown focused on crossover appeal and mainstream success, Stax celebrated Southern soul and authenticity, often reflecting the cultural and social realities of the time. These differences shaped the unique identities and musical legacies of both labels.
