I can still hear the D.J., "...and that was Booker T. and the M.G.'s, with 'Time...is Tight.' " He always paused after the first word. It wasn't a recording, either, because he went right into the weather forecast after that. And yet... I never tired of the song. Not once did I say, "This again??"

Drummer Al Jackson was the man !!

@@gerarddelgrande The human Metronome.. Justifiably Steve Cropper, Duck Dunn and Booker T are recognised as greats, but only really the Stax fraternity know how truly great Al Jackson was..

[@gerarddelgrande]

I'm lucky Tolly, I've visited the Stax building which is now the Stax Museum in Memphis, TN. I was able to see the different instruments of the MG's. Great memories.

I bought this 45 in '69. Still got it. Sounds just as good as the music played here. Fantastic song!!!

[@jvolgelstein6278]

Wow

[@peacetrain3320]

Booker T, Al, Duck, Steve - Steve freaking Cropper are you kidding me?! These studio guys were enormously influential in the music recorded by so many musicians back in the day. And to hear Steve recount his first encounter with my personal favorite, Otis, is very revealing of their influence on great music. Love you guys for making me happy all my life!

Wow! I could not remember the name of this song. As soon as I saw the picture, I clicked it. I used to play this exact 45 from my dads collection when I was 7-10 years old. Thanks pop! Hope you're still jamming this in Heaven 💓

Drove from Livingstone, Zambia to Cape Town, South Africa in 1969, listening to this beautiful instrumental. Brings back wonderful memories!

[@Lisa-di1wi]

I was only 11 when this song first came out. Nearly 50 years later, I still love this song!

These guys we the musicians that every musician wanted to be. Just incomparable.

[@WorldWarThree]

I can attest to that. I have played guitar for 54 years and Steve Cropper is my role model.

Saw them do this live in Cleveland Ohio in the Summer of 1970, just home from Viet Nam. What a treat this was.

All of Booker T. Instrumentals are Timeless jewels...I know...I bought his albums. Been listening more than 50 years. Who needs words when the music tells it all?
