Green Onions

This is one of those songs that get misassociated with movies. For some reason, I thought it was from Ocean’s Eleven. Turns out it’s not.

Ever since I watched Soulsville U.S.A. on a flight, I’m hearing this song everywhere–which isn’t all that surprising–it’s a famous song. To me Stax was always synonymous with Wu-Tang and Isaac Hayes. RZA sampled it, Shaft made it. But Booker T was literally all over everything this label did, starting with Carla and Rufus Thomas’s “Cause I love you”.

Anyways, watch the documentary. And for now, some green onions.
