Happy Jack Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 [quote name='ern500evo' timestamp='1336890795' post='1652256'] Steve Cropper announced the passing of Duck early this morning aged 70. [/quote] 70? SEVENTY??? He deserved better than that ... Quote
Rumple Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Pants! that's ruined my weekend I think I'll watch the Blues Brothers tonight. Quote
rushbo Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 What a great player he was. No flash, no "party tricks", just elegant, melodic, soulful Basslines. He was an inspiration to generations of musicians. Quote
KiOgon Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) That's terrible news, only 70! Much respect Duck R.I.P. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/kjon51/Years%20ago/DuckDunnsmiling.jpg[/IMG] Edited May 13, 2012 by KiOgon Quote

Buzzy Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) Realy sad about this, I met him once at the Town and Country club London in 1990. Me and my mate saw Booker T and the MGs and waitied to meet the band. We were allowed into the after gig party and got to chat with all the band . Duck signed my ticket after we had a chat about Fender necks (P v J) and how he missed playing with Al Jackson. Must have been an omen when my amp packed up during my gig last night Edited May 13, 2012 by Buzzy Quote
chris_b Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Oh.... this is terrible news. I wasn’t a Motown fan at the time (they were just pop songs), but Stax and Atlantic? That’s where the cool bass playing was. Quote
ezbass Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1336890925' post='1652258'] Noooooooo! :-( RIP Duck. Oh, man... [/quote]Exactly what I said when I saw the thread title. Sad news indeed. IMO despite playing for what predominantly a soul organisation (Stax) DD laid down the template for how to play rock bass. This has taken the shine off my morning Quote
toneknob Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Daddy of my "without whom" team. Thanks for the good times Duck. Quote
mxm Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 What a legacy. Luckily got to see him play in '91. Thank you Duck. Quote
Kirky Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Very sad news. Dunn + Jackson = rythym section heaven. RIP. Quote
