"Green Onions" by Booker T on Hollywood a Go Go

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. Material PD, copyright lapsed.

The host of Hollywood a Go Go was Sam Riddle, then a "Boss Jock" [DJ] on Los Angeles radio station KHJ.

My best friend Suzee loved this song, it's a

great scoop the loop song. I went with another

friend to visit Suzee's burial site. When

we got back in the car and left, this song

came on the radio. Suzee was still with us.

@HauntedStudios Know when this was performed?

I dig the girls dancing. My favourites on the girl watching scene were from the 60's. The black girls, the white girls - they looked good (what is known today as "hot").

To any teens viewing this: You have good taste for choosng music that doesn't date. I love this song too, ever since I was your age.

I am only 14 and this is just GREAT music. I wanna live all through the 1950s-? That would be soooo great. Listening to all this great music and with amazing people.

That's Packy Axton on sax. His mother and uncle were the owner's of Stax Records. Forget Motown. Stax was the best R&B label of all time and these guys were the band on every song from 1961 until 1970.
