So sad to learn that Steve Cropper has died. A great loss.

One of those powerhouse session guys from who played on more hit records in 60s and 70s than you coud ever name.

 

One thing I didn't know until reading his obituary is that he co wrote 'Sitting on the dock of the bay' which for most musicians would have been a career peak achievement.

 

For Steve Cropper it was just another day in the office.

 

RIP

Stax legend, Blues Brother and master of the Telecaster. A giant of popular music. RIP, Steve, say hi to Duck.

The Inevitable Teaspoons have never had a guitarist, and I've often said that the only guitarist we'd consider hiring is Steve Cropper, because of his tasteful, considered playing. Now that ship has sailed, the 'Spoons will forever be guitarless.

 

RIP The Colonel.
