First Album: Booker T. Jones
[My first album], that's gonna be back in 1960 or something. It was Ray Charles with Quincy Jones playing the organ on "One Mint Julep" from Genius + Soul = Jazz/My Kind of Jazz. And I said, "uh-oh" and that's when I went and found one [organ] and got in the studio and tried to imitate that song. I was in Satellite Records and Steve Porter was the clerk there and I didn't have any money to buy records, but he would play them for me and he played that thing and that clicked in my mind. That sound was so great.
