Steve Cropper gone :slightly_frowning_face:

What kind of world would it be now if we never had ‘Green Onions’ ?

An absolute giant whose name is known by far too few. Let’s all salute the Colonel.

This instantly brings back memories of my youth, riding a scooter, blasting this from the stereo I’d built into the glove compartment. Thank you for the music, Mr. Cropper.

A great guitarist that knew just what to play and never really felt the need to overplay like many do. Amazing back catalogue too.

RiP to an unsung great. Cropper’s influence on modern music is hard to quantify or overstate

“Country Soul” is a good read; highly recommend. There’s some unflattering stuff about Cropper in there, but maybe he changed his tune in the ensuing years.
