Soul Dressing is the second album by the Southern soul band Booker T. & the M.G.'s, released in 1965. [2] It was their final album with bassist Lewie Steinberg, who was replaced by Donald "Duck" Dunn. [5] [6]
The title track peaked at No. 95 on the Billboard Hot 100. [7]
The Guardian deemed the album "a classic," writing that it was part of a run of albums that "delighted mods and still represent the epitome of subtle soulfulness." [8]
The track "Plum Nellie" was recorded by British rock band Small Faces in 1966, and released on their compilation album From the Beginning in 1967.[ citation needed]
