Band Name Origins:

  • "Booker T." comes from the band leader's name: Booker T. Jones. Jones was also in another band called The Triumphs. According to an early album cover, Al Jackson suggested another car name for this new group, The MG's (Stax record producer Chips Moman loves MG's and owned a red one.) Concern about using the motor company's name wihtout their permission led them to re-enginerr MG to stand for "Memphis Group." Submitted by: David B
