This is not just a demonstration of a person's musical taste. This is a MUSIC CLASS by Mr. Booker T. Jones. All my respect.

@misterknightowlandco 3 года назад

To all you kids out there who want to be musicians, pay attention to this episode. The better the artist, the broader the styles of music “in the bag”. Listen to everything even if it’s not the genre you play. Especially classical. That music just gets your mind moving and what you play will just expand.

@Spanishdog17 3 года назад

It's so surreal to have a legend like him on this show.

@larrywexner4163 2 года назад

yeah i was scrolling past all their uploads looking for someone id recognize. had to do a triple take when i saw this and then clicked right away. the man just casually tells a story about hanging out with bob dylan.

@phillybms Год назад

In February 2020 he did an instore book reading and signing at Amoeba in San Francisco. Those events tend to be very superficial but he took the time to converse with everyone who attended in a thoughtful and humble manner. The man is giant in every way imaginable.

Booker T Jones is a bonafide legend who influenced all the 60s rnb groups and rock bands which in turn influenced all popular music thereafter. LEGEND.

@deltajive5813 3 года назад

From all the hits with the MG’s, backing so many legendary Stax artists (Otis being one), producing great albums such as Bill Withers’ debut, and all of his solo work.. Booker T. Jones should be respected as one of the best musicians to ever do it. Ultimate respect and awesome video

Until he actually said "...my band Booker T and the MG's", I simply could not believe I was watching THE Booker T. Sure looks better than anyone else from the sixties that is still around. Perhaps like Nicolas Cage he is a time-traveling vampire ?

@pillettadoinswartsh4974 2 года назад

Al Kooper, session guitarist, played keys on like a Rolling Stone. He kind of got "self-assigned" the role. Al put the church into that song, and he started a whole new sound for rock/pop. "After Paul Griffin moved from playing organ on the song to playing piano, Kooper tried to get Wilson to let him play an organ part. Wilson rejected the idea. But when Wilson left the room, Kooper went into the session and took over the Hammond organ. Wilson let Kooper remain, and Kooper added the now famous organ riff to the song. When Dylan heard the playback, he reportedly asked for more organ."

@slimedog 2 года назад

Part of one of the best bands of all time- not just because of the great music but how great a band they truly were- I would vote for Muddy Waters Band, Elvis Presley's first band, Little Richard and Fats Domino's band and Booker T and The M'G's. If not your favorites, that's fine. But as a musician how these bands played together can and could not be beat. Oh, and please add James Brown's rhythm section and Motown's to this list.
