“Yeah, I was given an invitation. Alan Pariser, who was a mover and shaker in the scene, allowed me to come up as a guest, backstage passes. It was just fabulous; it was the most wonderful, one of the most wonderful things of my entire life. I introduced [Buffalo] Springfield, I introduced Lou Rawls as ‘the man with the pipes everybody wishes they had.’ That man had just the best…I heard him sing the other day; he’s still fabulous. I introduced Booker T and the MG’s, who introduced the Bar-Kays, who introduced Otis Redding, and there was Otis Redding. ‘This is the love crowd, right?’ is what he said. He was so congenial and amused and secure.” - Peter Tork, Rolling Stone, 2007
