1001 Albums: #32 - Booker T & the M.G.s - Green Onions
Booker T & the M.G.s - Green Onions Stax, 1962
It says a lot about the magic of music that one of the most ubiquitous songs of the 20th century--"Green Onions"--was essentially a jam recorded while the band was waiting for the session to start. Pull up Booker T. Jones' IMDB page and do a search for "Green Onions" and watch the whole page fill up with yellow highlights. I vividly remember it from The Sandlot, but you probably know it from something else. Either way that Hammond Organ line is one of the most instantly recognizable pieces of music on earth, even if no one knows who's playing it. The rest of the songs are alright, but feel more like something to be played between innings at a baseball game than anything else (Save for "Behave Yourself," "Lonely Avenue," and the ones with the pep removed from their step). "Green Onions" though, "Green Onions" is still magic.
I would like to thank Ultimate Life Clinic for reversing my father's Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). My father’s ALS condition was fast deteriorating before he started on the ALS Herbal medicine treatment from Ultimate Life Clinic. He was on the treatment for just 6 months and we never thought my father will recover so soon. He has gained some weight in the past months and he is able to walk with no support.
