MUSIC OR DIE #30 - Booker T. & the M.G.'s, "Green Onions" (1962)

Rich in Vitamin K!

Part 30 of my 1000+ part series.
(For info on that, clickety-click-click)

In which the bad news is that it's still all instrumentals, but the good news is that they're mainly of FAMOUS SONGS! 

TL;DR

A mild improvement is still an improvement!
