Released 30 years ago, ‘Bob Dylan: The 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration’ had no shortage of star power. But Booker T. and the MGs were the fulcrum.

Steve Cropper recalls the off-handed approach to finding a title for Booker T. and the MGs’ timeless ‘Green Onions,” released in August 1962.

A single moment propelled Booker T. and the MGs toward a long-deserved return to the spotlight in the 1990s. Steve Cropper remembers.

If Booker T. and the MGs’ signature hit “Green Onions” always felt like a loose-limbed good time among musical friends, that’s because it actually was.

Silent for more than two decades now, Booker T. and the MGs have lost another member since their most recent studio project.

Steve Cropper thought he was going to talk to Booker T. Jones because he could round out the band on keyboards. There’s a lot more to it.

Steve Cropper has been playing “Midnight Hour,” “Green Onions” and “Soul Man” for decades. It’d be understandable if he became tired of them.

We typically hear about Booker T. and the MGs’ impact on a series of later stars. But what about when the situation was reversed?

Booker T. and the MGs shared Stax Records’ message of racial tolerance by their very presence. But it wasn’t always easy.

At first, Booker T. and the MGs were thought to have been named in tribute to producer Chips Moman’s car.
