I was so singularly obsessed with Neil's birthday yesterday, I missed that Booker T Jones was born yesterday, too! Booker T has a great autobiography worth checking out, btw.

Happy Birthday to keyboard man , producer and songwriter Booker T. Jones, born in Memphis, TN, on 11/12/1944. He and his band the MGs were central to the Stax Records southern soul sound and the development of funk. He still going strong today.
