"Green Onions started the 'Memphis soul sound', that deep organ. Years later, in the 70s, I was sitting in a restaurant on Hollywood Boulevard and this dude jumped up and started dancing on the table, plates flying. Everyone was laughing, then he just took off. I said: 'Who was that guy?' It turned out to be Keith Moon from the Who, paying me a form of tribute. Shortly afterwards, the Who used Green Onions in Quadrophenia, and it became a hit in the UK all over again."
In The Guardian, Booker T. Jones and Steve Cropper explain "How we made Booker T and the MGs' Green Onions."
