Donald “Duck” Dunn passed away today. He is best know as the bass player of Booker T & The MG’s and The Blues Brother’s band. He was one of the greatest bass player of all time and threw down the bass lines for a good percentage of the Stax recording artists including Otis Redding’s original version of Respect, Sam & Dave’s Hold On I’m Coming. He was one of the founding members of Booker T & The MG’s: the first interracial rock group.
RIP DUCK

Most famous for being the bass player for Booker T. & The MG’s. As the house band for Stax records, they provided the music for some of the greatest southern soul music ever recorded. He played on virtually every song recorded by Otis Redding, Sam and Dave, Albert King, Eddie Floyd, William Bell, Rufus Thomas and many others for Stax.
RIP Donald “Duck” Dunn. Heaven’s band just got a lot more funky.
This is a nice little summary of his history. If you think you haven’t heard his music, you’re wrong - you have. He’s a talented musician who has been in demand his whole career. He’ll be missed by a LOT of people.
