Surely I can't be the first here to note and lament the passing of the legendary Steve Cropper? He was such a giant that there's no quick and pithy way of summing him up, so I'll just remind y'all that he was a genuine American hero who, as Stax Records house guitarist and Telecaster mainstay of Booker T and the MGs, played on a staggering amount of America's common musical heritage, cowrote evergreen soul and R&B classics--"Midnight Hour," "Knock on Wood," "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay," etc., etc., etc.--and acted as a lowkey agent of racial integration in the process. RIP, Superman.

His understated playing on I’ve Been Loving You Too Long by Otis Redding is magnificent.

Ohhhh man. Loved the Blues Brothers movie when I was a kid. That was my first intro to him and the vast majority of the awesome musicians involved.
