Formed in 1962 in memphis, tennessee, Booker T and the MG's ("MG" officially stood for "Memphis Group") would make their way into history as one of the most important soul outfits in the history of music. They were indispensable as the house band for stax records, backing up many rising artists (Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Albert King, and many others), but it was the MG's themselves that put Stax on the map with such singles as "Green Onions", which peaked at number 3 on the Pop Charts, and "Hip Hug-Her", which peaked at number 6 on the Pop charts.
