   This guy put the groove in virtually every 1960s soul classic you could name & I was lucky enough to see him (with the rest of the MGs) backing Neil Young in 1993.

Duck - for Stax, for Neil Young & for the Blues Brothers, I thank you.

RIP - you've earned it.

	RIP. He was a fine bass player, not just with The MG's but with Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave, and countless others.
