Booker T. & The MGs were the in house backing band for Stax records. The MGs name often comes up at quiz nights and the widely accepted opinion is it stands for Memphis Group. However, Chips Moman a Stax producer claimed the name was taken from an MG sports car he owned. Apparently the motor manufacturer didn’t like the idea and to avoid law suits, Stax confirmed in stood for Memphis Group. Incidentally, The Triumphs were also named after one of his cars.

Whatever the truth of the matter the group ably supported great artists including Otis Redding, Sam & Dave and many others.

Jerrell Lee Fuller was born November 19th, 1938 in Fort Worth, Texas. He moved to Los Angeles in 1959 where he secured a recording contract with Challenge Records and recorded many songs with varying degrees of success.

In 1961 he wrote Travelin’ Man which was originally intended to be recorded by Sam Cooke. However, the track was recorded by Ricky Nelson and sold more than six million copies worldwide.

In 1967 he moved to Columbia Records as a producer where he discovered Gary Puckett and The Union Gap who were playing in the lounge of a San Diego bowling alley.

Writing and producing Young Girl which was released in January 1968, the song reached number one in the UK and Canada. Some people get their knickers in a knot about the song claiming it somehow promotes paedophillia. Listening to the record, it is of course about a romance that cannot be.

He also produced the hit record Lady Willpower which reached number one in the UK and Canada in 1968. Woman, Woman also charted reaching number 4 in the USA Billboard charts and number 48 in the UK singles chart.

In 1973 he wrote and produced Show And Tell for Al Wilson which reached number one on the Billboard hot 100 selling over 2 million copies.

Lyrics

Young girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You’re much too young, girl

With all the charms of a woman
You’ve kept the secret of your youth
You led me to believe you’re old enough
To give me love
And now it hurts to know the truth

Woah, oh, oh
Young girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
You’d better run, girl
You’re much too young, girl

Beneath your perfume and make-up
You’re just a baby in disguise
And though you know
That it’s wrong to be
Alone with me
That ‘come on’ look is in your eyes

Woah, oh, oh
Young girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You’re much too young, girl

So hurry home to your mama
I’m sure she wonders where you are
Get out of here
Before I have the time
To change my mind
‘Cause I’m afraid we’ll go too far

Woah, oh, oh
Young girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
You’d better run, girl
You’re much too young, girl

Young girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line

You’d better run, girl
You’re much too young, girl
Young girl
Get out of my mind
