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 ....
Born in '53 ... it was all great from as far back as I can remember, and just kept getting better. Ain't happening anymore, tho', which is sad. Glad we all got to be there.
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.
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 THIS SONG SINCE I WAS KID MY DAD TURNED ME ON TO THIS GROOVE I WAS 6 YEARS OLD, MY DAD WAS A COP IN DETROIT MICHIGAN, HEARD ALL THE GROOVES, THANK YOU ALL FOR YOU, PLEASE CONTINUE, NOW I'M 61 STILL LISTENING TO BOOKER T' S AND THE MG'S
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❤
This is how you learn to learn to crawl and then then walk within the realms of timing and phrasing of any music you want to play, even your voice. Control Yes and then go break the rules Love this, a text book for all.
LOVE YOUR GROOVES AND JAMMING, SINCE I WAS VERY YOUNG, SIX YEARS OLD, STILL LOVING IT CLASSIC JAMMING, NOW WHEN MY KIDS LISTEN TO YOU THEIR JAMMING THANK YOU YOU ALL, FOR BOOKER T S AND THE MG S.
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.
Roger Lee Meyzindi Not quite! Time Is Tight' was recorded in 1968 and released in 1969. Perhaps you're thinking of 'Green Onions?' That was recorded in 1962.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
Booker T. Wow! Jonny Weiss 🎶 "Maria" Song RU-vid. Christian Choir joined in. This cannot be beaten. I met Dick Dale & Alice Cooper in Phoenix, AZ. RU-vid
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.
@@davegarfinkel5251 Thank you Dave. You are right! I even got me a Zippo lighter of that place that night with the logo but that one I lost too. What amazed me the most was that they sounded exactly as if in the 60s. I saw Steve once again 10 years ago in one of the " Blues Brothers" package tours . It was good but nothing like the real thing The MGs I mean.
