theblackgundam: Some 40 years ago yesterday, the world lost Booker T. & the MG's Al Jackson Jr. Jackson's session/drum work gets sampled quite frequently to this day. Take the intro to Al Green's "I'm Glad You're Mine", for example. This is not just the underpinnings for the likes of Jodeci's "S'More" and Notorious B.I.G.'s "Dead Wrong", but also @timbaland's mid/late-90's sound in how he chopped the drums for his production. So next time you hear Aaliyah's "Heartbroken" or Missy Elliott's "Sock It To Me", know that you're hearing straight Memphis (no chaser). #allfacts #possiblyfavalgreenalbum #flashbackfriday #memphis #memphissoul #choose901 #algreen #aljacksonjr #producer #bookertandthemgs
