Description:
Issued on Stax Records, Booker T. & The MG’s rendition of “Mrs. Robinson” reimagines Simon & Garfunkel’s folk-pop anthem as a smooth, horn-accented soul instrumental. Recorded during the sessions for their McLemore Avenue LP — the band’s homage to Abbey Road — the track replaces the original’s acoustic delicacy with deep Memphis rhythm and groove-laden organ flourishes.

This version captures the unique alchemy of the MG’s: transforming mainstream hits into raw Southern soul statements. Its syncopated rhythm and understated funkiness make it a favorite among collectors of late-’60s instrumental soul.
