During a ­recording break for Billy Lee Riley, 17-year-old keyboardist Booker T. Jones, guitarist Steve Cropper, Lewie Steinberg on bass and Al Jackson Jr. on drums began messing around with a bluesy organ riff. The president of Stax Records, Jim Stewart, was at the mixing board. He liked what he heard and recorded it. The result: „Green Onions,“ with „Behave Yourself“ as the B-side. The record became a hit when radio DJ Reuben Washington played it four times in a row, even before the band had a name. The single went to #1 on the US R\u0026amp;B chart, #3 on the pop chart, reached #7 in the UK and sold over a million copies. The song was listed as one of the 500 greatest songs of all time by Rolling Stone magazine and received a Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1999. It was followed by the all-instrumental album „Green Onions“, which is now a classic of the era. The album was included in Robert Dimery‘s 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Booker T. \u0026amp; the M.G.s have been called the most influential stylists in modern American music. Until the 2000s, they played as the house band for countless world stars such as Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Johnny Cash, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Neil Young and many others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack list:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen Onions  \u003cbr\u003eRinky-Dink  \u003cbr\u003eI Got A Woman  \u003cbr\u003eMo‘ Onions  \u003cbr\u003eTwist And Shout  \u003cbr\u003eBehave Yourself \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide B\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStranger On The Shore   \u003cbr\u003eLonely Avenue  \u003cbr\u003eOne Who Really Loves You  \u003cbr\u003eYou Can‘t Sit Down  \u003cbr\u003eA Woman, A Lover, A Friend    \u003cbr\u003eComin‘ Home Baby\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Booker T. \u0026 The M.G.s","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51780842225948,"sku":"BOTTHMG7124","price":64.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/6066\/8345\/files\/booker-t-the-mgs-green-onions-the-original-recording-marbled-vinyl-lp-record-764933.jpg?v=1746197381"},{"product_id":"booker-t-the-m-g-s-green-onions-transparent-green-vinyl-lp-record","title":"Booker T. \u0026 The M.G.’s – Green Onions - Transparent Green Vinyl LP Record","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"568\" data-end=\"853\"\u003eThe title track, “Green Onions,” became an enduring hit and a defining soul-instrumental anthem known for its cool, hypnotic groove.
