Today we look at forgotten R&B guitar greats Chips Moman, Tommy Cogbill, Booker T. Jones & Joe South. They each played on huge hits, yet are rarely hailed, and worse yet, many times their parts are credited to other players. We right this wrong by looking at Chip's part on "Respect," Tommy's on Seesaw," Booker's on "I Forgot To Be Your Lover," and Joe's work on "Chain Of Fools."

I’m really glad you did this one. Chips never gets credit for his great guitar playing on Aretha and Wilson Pickett stuff. He’s the guy who got me to move to Nashville . I was (and still am) the guitar player for the Box Tops . I met Chips and Dan Penn and Reggie Young and Bobby Womack back then in 1967. Somebody should do a documentary on The Memphis Boys and Chips Moman.

@dennisflock3958 16 дней назад

That's some badass pedigree from you, brother. Awesome to to see legends like you enjoyed great content like us mere mortals. Zac is super cool.

@williamfair4575 15 дней назад

Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham (songwriting duo extraordinaire) moved to Memphis and worked with Chips and others. But they got their start in Muscle Shoals, AL…as did Tommy Cogbill, David Briggs and Norbert Putnam (Quadraphonic Nashville), Sam Phillips (Sun Records), Buddy Killen (Tree International Publishing), and many, many more. Bobby Womack also recorded and played guitar on numerous sessions in Muscle Shoals.

Was that with Alex Chilton? I know you were talking about Chips Moman im just a massive Alex fan, did you play with him at all? Many thanks!

@corndog1001 13 дней назад

@@michelleneeds4165 yes,I was the guitar player for the Box Tops the whole time Alex was our lead singer.

"My little junker acoustic...." as he pulls out an old Gibson 🤣 I love your sense of humor.

@jamarwright 16 дней назад

Killer episode, Zac! I knew none of this. I'm sure many of your viewers would welcome a part 2.

@corndog1001 16 дней назад

Chips also owned a ‘59 Les Paul that Dickie Betts gave him ( I played it on a Tammy Wynette album) and a ‘53 tele that Waylon gave him.

@dennisflock3958 16 дней назад

Someday I'll get a chance to play a real burst. Not own one, just play one. Although my 79 Custom is no slouch...

@hoagyguitarmichael 15 дней назад

Great episode. Essential knowledge. Don't remember if I ever told you the story of when I was working at Rudy's Music Stop on 48th Street in Manhattan with the late, great Jack Sonni and this guy came in to buy something. He handed me his credit card and it actually said "Chips" Moman. I lost it and excitedly told Jack, whereupon the two of us fan boyed out on the guy. I told him I grew up listening to his guitar playing and production. He was shocked that we knew who he was. A brush with greatness.

@AskZac 7 дней назад

That's a great story. I like that it said "Chips."

@corndog1001 16 дней назад

Chips also played a telecaster and bought Scotty Moore’s old Super 400 and he and Reggie played that one, too. There was a guitar closet at American Studios that had about a dozen guitars in it. Fenders, Gibsons, Gretsches, resonators,etc.

@chrisbrowning6102 16 дней назад

This is great stuff. I love hearing about the players from the Memphis scene. Have to admit, I didn't know that Booker T. was also a gifted guitar player. Thanks for sharing this with us!

@mattrogers1946 16 дней назад

Booker also played baritone sax on "Cause I Love You" by Rufus and Carla Thomas.

@corndog1001 16 дней назад

So glad you talked about Tommy’s guitar playing, too. He and Chips produced “ Soul Deep” for the Box Tops and Reggie, Tommy, Johnny Christopher and I all played guitar parts on it.

@royknowlton2947 16 дней назад

Writing this as I just started watching this. Wow did not know Booker T did guitar work. Great info for me to look into. Love his Booker T and the MGs stuff. Thanks.

Booker T on Green Onions: Hammond M3 ( not B3 ).

@danielbjorkander3878 16 дней назад

Thanks Zac for highlighting these players! I would say that the guitar parts mentioned in this video are among the best things that has happened to mankind.

@michaelparson-mcnamara782 15 дней назад

I love these stories and insights. My girlfriend's brother graduated ('69?) with one Pop's grandsons (can't recall which daughter now) from the Chicago YMCA high school. I'd met him before, so I got to say hello, to him and all the daughters. I don't think I could forget his outfit! - a Burnt Umber suit with white cowboy boots! Too cool!

@johnreilly9748 16 дней назад

Great dive Zac! Growing up in the 60s I was totally influenced by all those tasty guitar parts!

@GiantPinhead 16 дней назад

Great! Very enjoyable and informative, Zac. We caught Booker T Jones last year at the Englert here in Iowa City and he was cooking. His stage presence is still second to none, and he played guitar for two or three tracks, very beautifully. Double and triple stops, very similar to the lines you played, with a lot of little Curtis Mayfield type flourishes. Seeing him up close with his terrific band, including his son, was a dream come true.

@fgmmusic 14 дней назад

Great episode. The Joe South segment was a revelation!

@deanbanks3392 16 дней назад

Our guitar player from Cincinnati (Rick Hibbert) used to run his Epiphone 335 through the organ Leslie to get that Staples Singers guitar sound on Chain of Fools. Almost 60 years later, I can still hear him play the Intro.

@mattrogers1946 16 дней назад

Pops Staples called it "shake" 😂

Love this video, Zac. Joe South's extended intro/duet with Aretha on Chain of Fools is incredible; why they ever did a radio edit is beyond me!

@b.rodclark334 16 дней назад

IKR... in 1968, there weren't many long songs that got radio airplay and had to be edited for 45 releases to be played on the top 40 pop radio stations and that explains why Chain of Fools was edited the way it was.

@victorsilvas9603 3 дня назад

@Mr20Muleteam 15 дней назад

I have been a fan of your channel since I discovered it. You have opened up my music world with the likes of Reggie Young and so many others. One small point, Booker T. Jones studied at and received his degree from Indiana University (not Illinois) School of Music (now called Jacobs Scool of Music at IU). He later received an honorary doctorate from Jacob's School of Music at Indiana University.

@heneverreturnasahorse9773 14 дней назад

@dlux703 16 дней назад

I used to fly to NYC in the 60s to record, and can confirm the choice of Ampeg or nothing, at least at Capitol. The "big" thing about flying into Manhattan to record, was flying in from the airport to the PAN AM rooftop on the "double cannon" helicopter.

@markjohnson9485 15 дней назад

I worked of Eventide in Manhattan in the mid 70's...and one of the biggest studio rental companies was across the street. S.I.R. Studio Instrument Rentals. They delivered instruments to all the big studios, concert venues, etc.... I shopped in Manny's all the time. Didn't realized they also rented instruments.

@nicko6710 14 дней назад

GG: Joe South? Yes, of course! The “Games People Play” & “Rose Garden” guy. JJ: Yeah, he had all those wonderful hits. He was also a great session player. Guess what guitar he had? The exact same Gretsch guitar I had. Back then we didn’t travel with guitar stands. At Atlantic Studios we would lay our guitars on their back on the carpeted floor. When we took a break, our two orange Gretschs would be on their backs on the floor, side-by-side. I’ve got a picture somewhere of that. Joe South was absolutely a great guitarist and he played on a lot of records for producer Rick Hall. Later on, we played together on Aretha’s early hit records that started her out. We were on her first hit, “I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You).”

@nicko6710 16 дней назад

Thanks Zac I play alot of this material. And after seeing Jimmy's and Reggie's interviews I started to get a handle on the different players. Chips is distinct. I think Chips also played a Gretsch

@wendicraig6321 16 дней назад

Zac ,I love your channel! Everything you talk about is what I want to know about or revisit.I would LOVE it if you would do a segment on the GREAT, Snooks Eaglin. I know he sometimes played a Telecaster but he mostly played whatever he had laying around. You are the only one who could do a story about him justice. Check out Snooks Live in Japan if you want to get your eyebrows Burnt completely off! Thanks so much for all you are doing!

@KristopherCraig 15 дней назад

P I love seeing these unsung guitar players get some notoriety. Another great stax Guitarist was Charles. Skipp Pitts. Who played on Isley Brothers it’s Your Thing, and was responsible for the wah wah Guitar on Shaft. Thanks for giving these Guitarist the attention they deserve.

I've been trying to learn some of these parts all weekend, thanks for the inspiration! It also made my appreciate one of my more doinkier Teles more ;) Btw, I keep seeing Michael Toles being credited on I Forgot To Be Your Lover, glad you pointed out it was Booker T!

@pauldaniels6158 13 дней назад

Thanks, Zac! …for the info & Your telecaster Skillz. On this subject, do you know who does the guitar work on King Curtis “Memphis soul stew”? I love Both the rhythm & lead, but my favorite part is the rhythm at about 2:00, such a sick touch.

@AskZac 13 дней назад

Reggie Young is on the original studio recording. Cornell Dupree is on the live version.

@pauldaniels6158 11 дней назад

Thank you, Sir! I just finished the last episode of your true tone interview with Mr. Young. I love that you sought him out long ago. Kinda like Dylan did woody Guthrie. Anywho, thank you for the knowledge and this wonderful document.

@markscott4830 16 дней назад

when are you going to list your set lists?

@NickRatnieks 16 дней назад

Chips ,Moman ended up with Scotty Moore's Super 400. Apparently, it was kept at American in Memphis and loads of people played it. Back then, it was "just another guitar" but what a guitar! I forget what he finally sold it for and today, it would be stratospheric in price.

@corndog1001 15 дней назад

I played that guitar myself. What a thrill !

Hey Zac, I love your channel. I have asked my girlfriend for your ‘it’s a sickness’ shirt for my birthday coming up. If you were buying a telecaster sight unseen on reverb which of these would you pull the trigger on?

John Fogerty caught the whole tone down bug, I wonder if that was from the R&B influence and the 50's/60's session players, seems likely!

@garybratton7756 16 дней назад

Howdy Zac. I don't mean to stir the pot, but I went looking for who played on "every day will be like a holiday" a couple years ago. Someone has recently surfaced saying it was his father, Harold Beane Sr., who played on both that song and "I forgot to be your lover." Have you heard of him? He was associated with Stax, and later joined Funkadelic. Interesting. But whoever it was, the playing on those songs is sublime!
