"Green Onions" by Booker T & the MG's ...Hollywood a Go Go
youtube. ^

Posted on 08/15/2013 7:34:02 PM PDT by virgil283

Here is a clip that is not too often seen. From a 16mm kinescope this is the complete "performance" with introduction by host Sam Riddle. Note the group is not performing live, but it's always great to hear this classic piece. Hollywood a Go Go was a one hour music program produced by the RKO General "flagship" station in Los Angeles, KHJ. {{ video 3:29 ]]

Oddly enough I watched the video after I commented and Riddle corroborated my story...sort of.

Good on you for bringing this up. Music was such a part of all we did for those of us who grew up in the 60s.

This clip from American Graffitti always gives me a chill. It was a scene played out in my hometown so many times (without the crash, of course).

Sorry RC, I don’t get the correlation.

Well, the correlation is that you seem to have had a small role in the recording of a famous tune.

Ah! Okay. According to Wiki the song was written in 1962 I was there 65, 66 and 67...as a 2 year old I probably got sick of hearing it as much they got sick of playing it :-)

THANK YOU!

Just recently found out the name of "that song" because, IIRC, Rush Limbaugh mentioned the name (he used it as bumper music).

Never saw a video of the band. This means a lot to me.

Thank you!

It was a lot of fun being a teenager in the 60s and living near Memphis. Stax Records turned out a lot of hits. And the Memphis Group played on all of them. America was fun back then.

No lyrics. All instrumental.

And those "dancing" girls were idiotic.

That may well be true, but it doesn't answer my question.

Your post in its entirety. It makes no sense whatsoever.

Neither does yours. ^ Look up there and re-read what you wrote in #36. Your question was answered. Again, I say your question was answered.
