 Formed in 1962 in Memphis, Tennessee, Booker T and the MG’s (“MG” officially stood for “Memphis Group”, and is usually punctuated correctly on LP covers as “M.G”) became one of the most important soul outfits in the history of music. They were indispensable as the house band for Stax Records, backing many rising artists (Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Albert King, and many others), but it was the MGs themselves that put Stax on the map with such singles as “Green Onions”, which reached number three on the Pop Charts, and “Hip Hug-Her”, which reached number six on the Pop Charts.
