Žádná gesta. Žádné sólové výhně. Kytarista Steve Cropper odešel navždy – ale jeho groove nepomíjí. Svět nezhasl. Jen se na chvíli zpomalil, aby si připomněl, kdo to celé držel pohromadě. Pokaždé, když zazní „Dock of the Bay“ nebo riff „In the Midnight Hour“, stojí za tím jeho přesnost, jeho skromnost, jeho neúnavná práce. Steve Cropper — muž, který hrál pro píseň. A naučil nás, že právě tím se stává nesmrtelnou.

60's era #Memphis musician Steve Cropper dies , played key roles in careers of soul singer Otis Redding, Blues Brothers band & his own band Booker T & MGs amongst many others. Lesser known Cropper roles in pop culture include producing an early John Cougar album and appearing with Jack Black & Mos Def in the oddball stoner comedy "Be Kind Rewind". I only got to see him live once with most of the original MGs in Oakland, and twas indeed awesome to witness them all playing their key early instrumental hits together. Booker T Jones is the only surviving member of that #Stax era lineup.

The thing about Steve Cropper's playing is that it was essentially perfect in service to songs. It was never in service to Steve Cropper or to some imaginary guitar-god leaderboard. However, focusing on Cropper's playing kind of misses some of the point: his influence as a writer and producer is just as important.
Fun fact: Eric Clapton is always touted as being the only guitarist the Beatles ever brought in on a record. But, years before, the Beatles had worked hard to get in a studio with another guitarist entirely. Who was that? Yes: It was Steve Cropper.
Anyway. Everyone in the industry—especially guitar players—could do a lot worse than pay attention to how Steve Cropper did things. Thank you, sir.

"I've Been Loving You Too Long" (originally "#IveBeenLovingYou Too Long (To Stop Now)") is a #soulMusic ballad written by #OtisRedding and #JerryButler. Considered by music critics and writers to be one of Redding's finest performances and a soul classic, it is a slow, emotional piece with Redding's pleading vocals backed by producer #SteveCropper's arpeggiated guitar parts and a horn section. Redding recorded the song in 1965.

"Dedicated: A Salute to the 5 Royales" by Steve Cropper released this day in 2011.
Steve Cropper has said in numerous interviews that his main influence as a guitarist was Lowman Pauling, chief songwriter, arranger, and axeman of North Carolina's 5 Royales, a '50s-era group that wedded doo wop, jump blues, gospel, and jazz in an R&B style that scored them numerous hits throughout the 1950s.
