They were good, and I still have some of their albums.. I liked Booker T and the MG's better.. Maybe because they were more rock/blues 
I think I came up with more than you did :P
My favorite is
Then we also have Chuck Mangione who is my all time favorite
If you never heard a Land of Make Believe, give the whole song a good listening to

I have to admit Wipe Out was the first thing I learned to play on the drums 
Yes, it was rocking for that time, but things changed quickly back then too

HA! I knew you were going to say Booker T and the MG's!
How 'bout these guys? If you listen toward the end of the song you will hear a FRENCH HORN!

Booker T was actually my second choice, but they were more popular than Chuck Mangione. The French horn is nice, but I like the Flugelhorn better Then again,considering some of the other woodwind and brass instruments, I love the sax, flute and oboe. Never been a big fan of the trumpet, even though I like jazz.

I was just watching your video "Walk, Don't Run", and I had to laugh.. It was a great song for the time, but I noticed the drummer really only needed a snare, bass drum, and 2 cymbals 
The guy has a double base kit, 4 tom-toms, floor tom-tom and didn't use most of the set. I think that even when I had first picked up a pair of sticks, I was already better then he would ever be

Chuck Mangione!!!
Got to see Booker T. up here last year in Frisco. Actually, for instrumentals, we were down with Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. Those of us in jr. high band that played trumpet and cornet at the time were suddenly made sexy, and we could all play 'Lonely Bull'. Before that, it was pretty much cavalry bugle calls, which chicks didn't really notice.
