Diana Krall - The Look Of Love
Sam and Dave, “Soul Man”
The great guitarist Steve Cropper has died, age 84.
An anchor for Booker T & the MGs, the house band for Stax Records and the touring band for many of its legendary acts, Cropper gets a shout-out in this song, as “Play it, Steve!” precedes his return to the tune’s memorable riff.
Always armed with a Fender Telecaster, his crisp, clean playing drew on country and r’n’b alike to power an army of hit soul singles.
One of the all-timers.
