Booker T. & Priscilla (1971), a self-titled album by Booker T. Jones and his then-wife Priscilla Coolidge, is a fusion of R&B, soul, and pop that taps into the early 1970s' "Age of Aquarius" fascination with interracial musical pairings. The record features funk and blues elements, blending Booker T.'s signature style with Priscilla’s vocal contributions.
he album is classified under R&B and Soul. It is characterized as a mix of soulful, funk, and sometimes blues-heavy tracks recorded between January and February 1971 at Sunset Sound, A&M Records, and Wally Heider Studios.
While sometimes noted for its romantic, "fairy-tale" image, the relationship behind the music was famously tumultuous, contrasting with the album's romantic themes. It is often regarded as a fine, though sometimes overlooked, piece of 1970s soul music.
It is worth noting that Priscilla Coolidge later found success with her sisters as part of the group Walela, which focused on Native American, gospel, and pop music.
Reviews often note that while it isn't "bad," its length can be a barrier. Critics have described it as having "bitter and sweet" moments, suggesting it is best enjoyed in smaller doses rather than a single 83-minute sitting.
