Steve Cropper
Steve Cropper, guitarist and member of Stax Records' Booker T and the M.G.'s, has died at age 84
Steve Cropper, who co-wrote classic songs, including “(Sittin' on) the Dock of the Bay” and “In the Midnight Hour,” during his years playing guitar at the legendary Stax Records in Memphis, has died
Steve Cropper, the legendary guitarist whose work as an instrumentalist, producer and songwriter at Stax Records left an indelible impression on Memphis soul music, has died at the age of 84.
In a 2020 interview with The Associated Press, Cropper discussed his career and how he mastered the art of filling gaps with an essential lick or two.
"I listen to the other musicians and the singer," Cropper said. "I'm not listening to just me. I make sure I'm sounding OK before we start the session. Once we've presented the song, then I listen to the song and the way they interpret it. And I play around all that stuff. That's what I do. That's my style."
Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, asked once about Cropper, said simply, "Perfect, man."
He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2005, and two years later received a Grammy Award for lifetime achievement.
Cropper continued recording into his later years, including 2024's "Friendlytown," which was nominated for a Grammy. Earlier this year, Cropper received the Tennessee Governor's Arts Award, the state's highest honor in the arts.

Pretty much my idea of Hell 6o covers and not a real DOORS presence bar a few, from Jose Feliciano to Julie London ersatz covers by folk who just didn’t get it. No offence to Robby but Jim grew very quickly tired of the ‘Hits’ Light My Fire etc as a lounge act schtick . . . . more likely to go off on some poetic ramble and then hit them with something NEW! ABSOLUTELY LIVE!!!
UPDATE! actually this is fab and GREAT FUN if my purist schtick didn’t alienate anyone stick this play list on PLAY LOUD and break out your Leather PANTS!
Fine and raid your Doors collection and TURN IT UP!
If ever we needed one . . . . .
An American Prayer
My all time favourite track (I was going to play Five To One but it seemed a tad obvious . . . ya get me!)
