A short mix of songs, mostly ancient, that feature lovely Hammond b3 like organ parts. As simple and as wonderful as that!

Track 7 from Nine Below Zero
Length: 00:03:07 Year: 1963 |

|
Track Description:
One of my favorite three minutes and seven seconds of all time. This is the riff that became "Green Onions". Here, the organ underpins the whole song, with Rice Miller's vocal and harp upfront. As good as life gets. SHOW LESS

Track Description:
...So this has to be next. It was the epitome of cool when it was released, and to me it still is, with Steve Croppers jerky guitar stabs complementing Booker T's ultra smooth keys. SHOW LESS

Track 16 from The Best of Santana
Length: 00:06:35 Year: 1998 |
|
|
Track Description:
When Santana was a real band and not just a marketing franchise for crap collaborations with third grade contemporary pop stars, the keyboards were just as important as the guitar solos and Latin percussion. This is a wonderful early example. Remember them this way. SHOW LESS

Track 6 from At Filmore East
Length: 00:13:06 Year: 1971 |
|
|
Track Description:
The twin guitars of Dickey Betts and Duane Allman lead this astonishing live version, but the performance and the band would be nothing without Greg Allman's bubbling organ work. His solo breaks the piece up and at the same time rejuvenates it. Pound for pound, my favorite live recording of all time SHOW LESS

Cool as hell.
Did you consider Lonnie Liston Smith at all? Or was he a bit too funky for this mix?

Despite the fact that TEAM ROBOT was crushed like a Pabst can at a frat party by the might claws of TEAM MONSTER, you are still deserving of a badge... Loser.

I was lucky enough to see Duck Dunn, Steve Cropper and Booker T when they played London about 10 years ago. Bloody great

Just listened to Help Me. Incredible. Green Onions really sounds like a cover of it. I love the old footage of Donald playing bass on that track.
