The New(ly) Dead Thread



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.
