Booker T & the MGs 'Time is Tight' live in Stax Studio, 1969

In the legendary Stax Studio: Time Is Tight by Booker T, Steve Cropper, Al Jackson Jnr and Donald 'Duck' Dunn. The MGs were the Stax Records house band, backing Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Carla Thomas etc, as well as having their own hits such as this and Green Onions. This is a live rendition excerpt of the original version of Time is Tight, with an extended intro.

An interracial group in segregated Memphis Tennessee added to their uniqueness; the studio and label Stax Records were also a pioneering multiracial organisation.

Broadcast on 19.04.1969, this clip is from a fascinating 11-minute Memphis Soul and Stax Studio French documentary, with Isaac Hayes, Carla Thomas, as well as Booker T, the MGs and more. It's here:    • Inside Stax Studios! Isaac Hayes, Booker T...
