Money

Single Release0 Comments

Pink Floyd releases, Money from The Dark Side Of The Moon. David Gilmour says that the song was influenced from Booker T and the MGs:

I was a big Booker T fan. I had the Green Onions album when I was a teenager. And in my previous band… we played Green Onions onstage… It was something I thought we could incorporate into our sound without anyone spotting where the influence had come from. And to me, it worked. Nice white English architecture students getting funky is a bit of an odd thought.
