RIP DONALD "DUCK" DUNN



Very sad to hear of the passing of Duck Dunn, four string soul brother who anchored the rhythm section of Booker T and the MGs since the early 1960s. His style was very straightforward, always in the pocket. Part of the Stax house wrecking crew, he played on countless records by Otis Redding, Sam and Dave...well, just too many to name-check here.

"Today I lost my best friend," Steve Cropper wrote on his Facebook page. "The World has lost the best guy and bass player to ever live".
