The M.G.'s), and Lester Snell.[2] The M.G.'s were the Stax studio band who played on many of the original versions of the songs Sebastian recorded on the album.[3] Steve Cropper was also a co-writer of three of the tracks, "In the Midnight Hour", "Knock on Wood" and "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay".[4] One original song written by Sebastian was included on the album. The Memphis Album debuted at No. 3 on the ARIA Albums Chart, spending eight weeks in the Top 10.[5] It reached double platinum accreditation, and received a nomination for "Highest Selling Album" at the 2008 ARIA Music Awards.[6][7]
