Booker T. & the MG’s at BB Kings

The greatest soul instrumental band of all time features Rock ‘N Roll Hall of Fame inductees Booker T. Jones, Steve Cropper and Donald ‘Duck’ Dunn. If Yankee Stadium is “the house that Babe Ruth built,” Stax Records is “the house that Booker T. and the MG’s built.”

Booker T. & The MG’s boast an impressive list of credits and hits. In addition to the array of seminal artists they have backed up in the 60’s, such as Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam and Dave, and Rufus and Carla Thomas, among others, Booker T. & The MG’s are perhaps best know for their #1 Billboard hit of 1962 “Green Onions.” Guitarist Steve Cropper and bassist Duck Dunn are also members of the Blues Brothers Band, of film and recording fame.
