Very sad.

Aw, no! Strangely, when I left work earlier, I suddenly thought about the Blues Brothers and had "Hey, Bartender" playing in my head.

At least, 84 is a good run. 10 years more than Ace. 13 more than my dad.

Another real icon of the biz gone, and what a good run had! Sad to see him go.

 

[David Houck]

Thanks for posting the news. He was a big influence on the soul and R&B of that time (the songs I was hearing and playing) and what came after.

Booker T & the MGs and the Blue Brothers was standard fare with our open-mics some years back. Happy to have learned from the maestro when he fronted the bands. Rest easy, Steve.

'Sittin' On the Dock of the Bay' features an elegant bit of guitar playing. Very sad news.

"elegant" - exactly

 

[Dave Merrill]

He also produced a ton of great records.

 

[Tonedeaf]

Legend. He also co-wrote some of those big hits he played on. Always wanted one of his Peavey signature Tele's.

 

[Larz]

Oh, yeah...

RIP Steve. You’ll never have to go back to the Armada Room at the Holiday Inn.
