First we learned the bad news about Bon Scott, and now this. This thread sucks.

I didn't connect just seeing the name but this guy was a major player, not just for Booker T & the MGs, but for the whole Stax label as a musician, song writer, and producer. Highly recommend the HBO doc Stax Soulsville USA

I became a fan of Rhythm and Blues music because I saw John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd hamming it up as the Blues Brothers on SNL. Part of that was also Steve Cropper's guitar riffs in their cover of Soul Man. That guy really had a knack. He is probably on my Mt. Rushmore of guitarists.

Every time I see this thread pop up in my watchlist, I think, "Who done died?"

Most folks, might say, well yeah, duh. But I think it's more about the accent in my head.


On a side note, I did know of Steve Cropper, sad he's passed on. As originally silly the Blues Brothers started, it morphed into something really special. The movie, the albums, great stuff.

At this point, I can't tell if people are trolling or really that far behind on the news.

Damn. It is on the front page of MSN and it said it was posted an hour ago. I opened it up and it didn't say a date, just 'last night'. I think I get a pass on this one. I did my due diligence.

That is why I usually cross-check with something like Wikipedia (even though Wikipedia can be wrong too)
