Hometown
Memphis, TN, United States
Formed
1962
Genre
R&B/Soul
Booker T. & The M.G.’s were history-makers on multiple levels. As the house band at Stax Records in the ’60s, they backed soul giants on R&B milestones. But they crafted milestones of their own as a self-contained unit, one of the few all-instrumental bands to score multiple Top 10 hits. They were also a rare racially integrated group in the Jim Crow-era South. Booker T. Jones was a precocious multi-instrumentalist who started playing Stax sessions when the label was still called Satellite. By 1962 he had his dream team: guitarist Steve Cropper, drummer Al Jackson Jr., and bassist Lewie Steinberg (replaced by Donald “Duck” Dunn in 1965). With a fierce, funky sound led by Jones’ thick, gospel-informed organ lines and Cropper’s terse, biting riffs, they backed Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Wilson Pickett, and many others. On their own, they unleashed R&B evergreens like “Time Is Tight” and “Green Onions.” Their ’60s classics helped create a soul template that influenced generations of rockers and R&B artists alike.
Members of Booker T. & The M.G.'s include, or have included, Booker T. Jones, Steve Cropper, Steve Jordan, Lewie Steinberg, Al Jackson, Jr., Donald "Duck" Dunn, Carson Whitsett, Jim Keltner, Willie Hall, Anton Fig, Bobby Manuel, and Steve Potts.
