Steve Cropper, Duck Dunn, Charles "Packy Axton"( tenor saxophone) and Don Nix( baritone saxophone) original members of the Mar-keys. The local Satellite Records (the forerunner of Stax), was owned by the mother and uncle of the group's tenor sax player, Charles "Packy" Axton. Cropper and Dunn later members of Booker T. the M.G.'s. The Mar-Keys first and most famous recording was "Last Night", a number three hit nationally in the US in 1961. It sold over one million copies, earning certification as a gold disc. While still involved with the Mar-Keys and Stax studio work, Cropper, Steinberg, Jones and Al Jackson Jr. also began recording as Booker T. the M.G's in 1962. Consequently, from then through 1966 instrumental music recorded by the Stax house band was issued under the name of either the Mar-Keys or as Booker T. the M.G.'s, depending on the type of recording: in general, tracks featuring a horn section were credited to the Mar-Keys, and those without horns were credited to Booker T. the M.G.'s.
