Guitarist Steve Cropper has died, aged 84. His signature sound was what made Stax Records the cream of the crop for soul music in the 60s. He was a member of Booker T. & the M.G.'s and the go-to 6-string maestro for artists such as Sam & Dave, Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, and Carla Thomas. He was one of those rare musicians that are instantly recognizable, even after hearing only one note.
