RIP. He was a fine bass player, not just with The MG's but with Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave, and countless others. ------------- Can you tell me where we're headin'? Lincoln County Road or Armageddon. |

Dunn was in Tokyo for a series of shows. News of his death was posted on
the Facebook site of his friend and fellow musician Steve Cropper,who
was on the same tour.Cropper said Dunn died in his sleep. The powerful bass notes built the foundation for hits like Otis Redding’s “Respect,” Sam and Dave’s “Soul Man” and Wilson Pickett’s “Mustang Sally,”died this Sunday morning in Tokyo. http://duckdunn.com" rel="nofollow - http://duckdunn.com http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/donald-duck-dunn-bass-player-for-booker-t-and-the-mgs-dead-at-70-20120513" rel="nofollow - http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/donald-duck-dunn-bass-player-for-booker-t-and-the-mgs-dead-at-70-20120513 http://music.msn.com/music/article.aspx?news=728110&affid=100055&ocid=ansent11" rel="nofollow - http://music.msn.com/music/article.aspx?news=728110&affid=100055&ocid=ansent11 Steve Cropper and Donald 'Duck' Dunn perform their massive hit instrumental "Green Onions" at The State Theatre The Memphis Tour of Australia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IM6MEb2xnLk" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IM6MEb2xnLk Wünsche allne en schöne Muettertag + en schöne Sonntig!

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. -------------
