Know the tune so well.. I worked in a Road Band for years back then and we opened up with Onions and closed with Time is Tight.
We had a Hammond B-3 and the keyboard guy was killer. [ also did a lot of Jimmy Smith stuff]

Booker T gets the award for getting the Hammond sound out of the small southern churches and into mainstream Rock/Soul music. The guy was magic.
Billy Preston was another , along with Dave Baby Cortez. and then the Rascals really hit the charts.. but B T was the Man..................

I worked one Summer Resort room in Western Mass. [ Lakeview Inn] where the owner made us keep playing "Time is Tight' until we got sick of it, but he never did and kept on hiring us just for that tune.... it was a gas...........
