DESCRIPTION:
A classic and much sampled groove,"Melting Pot" was Booker T & The MG's last single on the Stax record label. Its repetitive groove-oriented drumming, loping bass line, and super tight rhythm guitar made it an underground hit popular in New York City block parties. The song has often been sampled by rappers, techno DJs & mixmasters. The Beatles--and especially John Lennon were huge fans of the group. John Lennon fondly called the group, "Book a Table and the Maitre D's."
