It can be argued that it was Booker T. Jones who set the cast for modern soul music and is largely responsible for its rise and enduring popularity. On classic Stax hits like “Green Onions” and “Melting Pot” the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee pushed the music’s boundaries, refined it to its essence and then injected it into the nation’s bloodstream.
