Jones founded Booker T. and the MGs in 1962. While still in high school, he wrote the group's enduring instrumental, 'Green Onions.' In addition to his enduring multi-instrumentalist role fronting the MGs, his esteemed career includes tenure throughout the 1960s as a session musician and songwriter for the famous Stax Records label. Exiting Stax in the 1970s, Jones performed as a solo artist while developing a sturdy reputation as a producer for the likes of Rita Coolidge, Bill Withers and Willie Nelson. He has also lent his trademark keyboard playing to recordings by everyone from Stephen Stills and Ray Charles to Neil Young and Natalie Merchant. Jones still plays with Booker T. and the MGs and his own Booker T. Jones Band. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 and was honored with a Grammy Award for Lifetime Achievement earlier this year.
