Lewie Steinberg
Encyclopedia : L : LE : LEW : Lewie Steinberg
Lewie Steinberg was an 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, 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.
