Yeah folks.... we are the baby boomers... and we had the best ever decade of modern music between mid 60s and mid 70s... this music is timeless...!!! what a blessing to be part of it... 😄

You are right ! The mid 60's to mid 70's WAS the best ever era of music. "Green Onions" however came out in 1962, so that was a precursor to the greatness of the era you describe. Of course "Time is Tight" did come out in 1969 so fits right in there ....

There's 2 versions; 1967 on a movie soundtrack and the 1969 radio release.

Just happens to be my all time favourite instrumental 😊

First music my son heard as a 6 day old in1972. His father played it and would bounce that baby on hiis knees in time to the beat while conducting with his sons tiny arms.....aah... the memories. Father is now dead but the memories live on in the music❤

One of the songs played at my funeral when my time is done

Absolutely - this is the best - I've booked a cremation , but hopefully, this will get played at some point!

When this came out in the '60's, I got the "45" and played it till it was so worn it sounded like static. This is the best instrumental of all time. So Glad MP3's will never wear out.

❤ Fascinating group.! Booker T. & The MG's ❤ So damn good.! ♬ ❤ Great music.! 👍

Was awesome back in 1970 when Booker T & the original lineup played in Oakland CA with CCR!

RIP to AL and Donald, Steve and Booker still holding it down 😎

Awesome tune,always loved Booker T. Absolutely the best "house band" ever,what a label Stax was back in the day.

One of the great melodies of all time; brought out of the ether and given to the world. Beautiful. I remember hearing once back in the eighties or nineties that "Green Onions" was the "coolest song of all time" and not being able to disagree. Thank you Booker T. Jones.

Booker T and the B3: nothing better!

Oh man this puts a smile my face😀😀

`LOVE YOUR GROOVES THANK YOU ALL

NO ONE worked a B3 and Leslies any better...EVER!!! Listen to how perfectly he can hold and roll notes. Amazing.

If this music doesn't move your soul, check your pulse.

Love it!

Meine erste Langspielplatte war von booker . Ich war 17 und von da an ein Fan ❤❗❗😄. Wunderbar in der Jetztzeit sind sie immer noch aktuell. Tolle Musik 🎉

Love the way they don't sing a word but their expressions say it all!

THANK U!!

Saw him last night in Kalamazoo Michigan. What an amazing show!! Booker and his son Ted played Purple Rain together and there wasn't a dry eye in the house.

wow....i can listen to him all day long....

Like going to church. Feels so good.

Doesn't this just put you in the mood!

Man, they don't write instrumental tunes like this anymore, don't they? one of my perennial favourites, I used to play this tune a lot when I was younger.

Long live STAX.

Lick this! Oh how I loved the music of the 60’s and 70’s. Got this on a 45 rpm vinyl somewhere. Nothing like it anymore, sadly!

What a class act! I remember listening to this on the radio when I was a kid and dance and pretend I was playing the instruments.

What a trip to see Booker T all these years later! It's too cool the way they're all just having fun playing this tune. They sound great.

Awesome live version, hes still got it!

Booker T. "Wow!"

The man is amazing And all class His kid ain't too bad either

Like Rembrandt with oils, Booker T. is pure genius.

Saw him in April 13, 2016 at Elgin Community College. Outstanding. Remembered cranking up my old 8 track and just playing it endlessly. His version of Summertime is fantastic. Been looking at the pictures after the concert and recalling what a class act he was to all of us there.

I was a senior in High School in 1969 and worked nights and weekends in a pizza parlor. The patron`s played this song so many times on a weekend. I never got tired of hearing it. Unlike "Hey Jude" by The Beatles and "Age of Aquarius" by 5Th Dimension,LOL.

Here we go..Another day..

Never gets old.

I am so glad to meet this video and I recall my teenage years, from Japan.

Never tired listening to this classic

He is certainly a master of the Hammond organ. And I guess he composed many of those hits (probably with with contributions from "the MG's") that made Booker T and the MG's famous. Genius

Thanks for posting this oldie! 👍

I met him on the Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise in 2018 and he was awesome and saw him in this past October on the same cruise and still awesome

My heroes!!My childhood dream was to play like Booker T. Jones!! :)

OOOH what a lovely valve organ and Leslie speaker sound. Notice the thousands of pounds of electronic kit stacked at the back, but they still use the Leslie, they cannot replicate the sound of a rotating speaker in a proper cabinet

I wonder how many times that he's played this wonderful piece of music over his life?

Llevaba mas de 44 años queriendo saber quien tocaba esto. Hoy lo he sabido. Yo escuchaba esta melodia cuando yo tenia 12 años. Las peticiones de radio socuellamos a las 3.30 pm.

To contain so very much and to be so very smooth. Really a gift.

This song does something to me have loved it forever !!!

My Father was a radio announcer in New Zealand and this track was often played as a "filler" near the top of the hour when the news came on

OUTSTANDING!!!

Thank You...

I would love to go back on time to see and hear this song performed live for the very first time😍😍😍😍 I wonder what was the audience's reaction.

If ever there was something as perfect this has to be it spellbinding..class flawless..if you dnt move in any manner whilst watching this well i pity you...

Wonder what it would of been like if he had collaborated with with George Benson on this and "Time is Tight". Guess I'll never know. Thanks just the same Booker T

the equipment its played on is as classic as the song. In that side box is a rotating set of speakers that gives the vibrato effect at the end of long notes.

I saw him and the rest of the rest of the MGs on a rare re-union concert in a bar in NYC on February 1999. Amazing! Can anybody tell me the name of that place ? It was in mid Febr.
