I've always been fascinated by Steve Cropper and Donald Dunn anyway, but this show completely turned me on to what a lovely, talented gentleman Booker T is. Those guys could settle into a groove like nobody's business.Holly A Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828633442418722187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-35099361136152994732007-08-03T10:20:00.000-07:002007-08-03T10:20:00.000-07:00Great post Holly!

And the tune you mentioned is one of my favorites. I love the story from his wife saying how Otis would call her every night from Europe (4AM U.S. time) and tell her how he "knocked 'em dead" over there! Tragically, he was gone far, far too early. But his recordings and those amazing live video archives will live on. Give it up for Booker T & The MG's too! <BR/>SpencerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
