One of the greatest records ever made, by some of the greatest musicians ever. RIP Al Jackson and Donald "Duck" Dunn.

I was on my $1.98 skateboard in Van Nuys, ten years old, with this tune in my head. For the moment, I was the coolest guy on the frikkin PLANET.

I always thought that Green Onions IS the ultimate cruzing song-driving down Main Street in a hotrod GO blaring. That song is ageless.

[TruckerCletus]

I love this, the original dude playing his song. The way it was meant.
In most covers i see organ players turn into guitarplayers, cranking out as many notes as fast as they can into the melody. While this is the song, easy, simple and nice to listen to. Love it1

[rosagonzalez]

Siempre y para toda la vida, melodia hermosa y mas como usted la sabe tocar con el piano organo, simplemente

[mattgraham]

[kawaw]

They say "the black don't crack" and they ain't lying. Dude's 74 not looking a day over 40.
