Stax Records Stereo 1970
Booker T. Jones and his "Memphis Group" are most famous for their 1962 instrumental hit "Green Onions", which is one of the most recognisable instrumental songs ever. It was a No.3 hit in the pop charts when it was released, and has been used in many TV shows and adverts, films and video game soundtracks.
They have had other hits too, most notably "Soul Limbo" and "Melting Pot", which have also both been licensed to TV shows and soundtracks.
Aside from recording their own work, the group was the house band for Stax Records, one of the most famous soul labels of the 60s. Hits that featured Booker T & The MGs include: "Soul Man" by Sam & Dave, "Try A Little Tenderness" (and many others) by Otis Redding, "Knock On Wood" by Eddie Floyd, and "Who's Making Love?" by Johnnie Taylor. They also frequently collaborated with Isaac Hayes, and guitarist Steve Cropper became one of Stax's best songwriters and producers. It is said that The Beatles were big fans of Booker T & The MGs, and wanted to collaborate with them as they found Cropper's guitar-playing inspirational.
