| Description: | Melting Pot from Booker T. & The M.G.â??s marked a turning point for the influential instrumental group. Released in 1971, it was the final studio album to include the original lineup of the longtime Stax house band (Booker T. Jones on keyboards, Steve Cropper on guitar, Donald â??Duckâ? Dunn on bass guitar, and Al Jackson Jr. on drums). Comprised entirely of original material, Melting Pot finds the four-piece digging deep into some expansive Memphis soul jams.

â?˘ Old-school tip-on jacket - LP originally released in 1971."Melting Pot" is a classic soul and funk album by Booker T. & the MG's, released in 1971 on CD format by Stax Records. This record marks one of the band's most adventurous works, featuring extended jams and a more improvisational approach compared to their earlier concise hits. The title track "Melting Pot" became an underground favorite for its infectious groove and has been widely sampled in hip-hop music. Booker T. & the MG's are legendary as both artists and session musicians; they were central to shaping the Memphis soul sound throughout the 1960s, backing icons like Otis Redding and Sam & Dave. Their instrumental prowess earned them induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1992. Stax Records, founded in Memphis, Tennessee, is renowned for its pivotal role in developing Southern soul music and launching careers of many influential artists. |
