#1 RIP 'Duck'

Donald “Duck” Dunn, the bass guitarist whose bouncy rhythms helped define the Memphis soul sound of Stax Records and graced recordings by Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, the Blues Brothers, Booker T. and the MGs, Eric Clapton and Rod Stewart, died May 13 in Tokyo. He was 70.
His longtime collaborator, guitarist Steve Cropper, announced Mr. Dunn’s death online but did not specify a cause. Mr. Dunn and Cropper had been performing at a Tokyo nightclub in a revue of Stax performers.
He and Cropper got a restart from the original Blues Brothers film

It's not how old you are, it's how you got here.
It's been a long road and not all of it was paved.

That's 2 gone from the Blues Brothers movie band. Mr. Fabulous Alan Rubin died last June and now Dunn. To quote him from that movie, "We had a sound that turned goat piss into gasoline." Classic.
Edit: 3 gone counting Jake.The American Left: Where everything is politics and politics is everything.

"We had a sound that turned goat piss into gasoline."
And they weren't lying!
Lest we forget: Ray Charles, Cab Calloway and James Brown got a bounce from the movie and are now lost to us.Last edited by Retread; 05-15-2012 at 09:47 PM.

I saw the Doobie Brothers in 2006 at Pine Knob, and he was playing in their lineup for that tour (no Michael McDonald).
I loved The Blues Brothers, both on SNL and the movie. RIP.
