"The Human Timekeeper"
The beat and the soul of the legendary Stax sound, Al Jackson, Jr. was born today. A founding member of Booker T. & the M.G.s, Jackson contributed his remarkable rhythm to countless hits by Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Al Green, Isaac Hayes and many many others on the Stax label.
On October 1, 1975, Jackson was shot to death in his home - a crime that is still unsolved.
