Few rhythm sections have become as famous as Booker T. & The M.G.s. As the funk brothers were to Motown, so Booker T. & The M.G.s were to the Stax/Volt labels, playing on countless R&B and soul hits during the 1960s. The band helped define the spare, punchy sound of Memphis soul music. By contrast to Motown’s orchestrated, pop-soul records, the Stax approach was lean, economical and deeply groove-orientated…

…Part of the success of the M.G.s’ tight sound was the cohesion and power of the Jackson-Steinberg rhythm section. This is especially evident on the tracks ‘Comin’ Home Baby’ and the slow and bluesy ‘Behave Yourself’.

The popularity of the title track, and that of the album as a whole, did more than put Stax on the map – it made Booker T. & The M.G.s the hottest studio combo in the South.
