Lewie Steinberg 3781460 218216606 2008-06-09T18:02:21Z 66.148.181.229 '''Lewie Steinberg''' [[September 13]], [[1933]], in [[Memphis, Tennessee|Memphis]], is an [[United States|American]] musician best known as the original [[bass guitar]] player for [[soul music]] group [[Booker T. & the M.G.'s]]. Steinberg was in the group from 1962 to 1964. He is featured on hits including "[[Green Onions]]" backed with "Behave Yourself." Steinberg recorded one more album with the band, ''Soul Dressing'' in 1965. Unlike the ''[[Green Onions (album)|Green Onions]]'' album, every song but one on ''Soul Dressing'' was an original. But the chemistry — musically and personally — wasn't quite right. Steinberg stepped aside, and [[Donald "Duck" Dunn]] took over on bass for the band. Steinberg was inducted into the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]] and in 2007 received a [[Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award]]. Steinberg currently resides in [[Memphis, Tennessee]]. <ref name="mehr">Mehr, Bob (February 12, 2007).
