Further proof that real music still shines thru in the time of that abysmal crap that is heard on the radio in cars and pretty much everywhere else!!! Truth will set you free!! As for new" r&b..rap..hip hop etc.....the emperor has no clothes!

[@deeg8849]

This is good, but my rule on covers is, short of Jimi doing watchtower, covers always come up short - even when awesome

[@reven-docta79]

Perfect Summation, Dee G. Could not have said it any better. Honestly, I would have expected better. I’m thinking I may have overestimated the talents of the Roots based on the hype and short sessions like Dave Chapelle’s Block Party. They sound like a College Jazz Ensemble.

[@pophangtime88]

Typically it would b disrespectful to say this but this is definitely better than the original and thats saying alot

[@patrickthys9728]

it is not better , drims too much in the mix and Hammond player bad timing and wrong notes in the chorus parts...

[@57Hodman]

excellent ！！！！！！！！！！

Mmmm... its better the original (green onion booker t)

[@djcrystar]

Too slow...but hey it's a cover

[@whicker59]

I was big fan of Booker T and the MGs n 60s. Loved that Hammond organ sound. They defined instrumental music.....and this cover is 1st Class all the way!!! I stopped watching the Grammys decades ago...... it's now nothing but garbage dumpster noise.

[@alperez3642]

it sounds nothing like the original? crap. Roots? cant be.
