Booker T. Jones Honored by NARAS-Memphis

The Memphis chapter of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, which oversees the Grammy awards, presented Stax Records legends Booker T. and the MGs with its Lifetime Achievement Award on Friday

The band -- organist Booker T. Jones, guitarist Steve Cropper, bassist Donald "Duck" Dunn and original bass player Lewie Steinberg -- all spoke before offering up a long, languorous take on their classic "Time is Tight."

Booker T., along with Cropper, Dunn, Steinberg and the late, great Al Jackson, Jr, received a NARAS Lifetime Achievement Award on February 11, 2007 (picture).
