BigKahune Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 . Oh man that's sad. The Stax guys were great - Dunn, Cropper, Jones, etc. Very sad news. RIP Duck. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I always remember him most for the Blues Brothers.. he had that 60s/70s bass style that I so much admire and was one of the best at it.. R.I.P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketman Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Say it ain't so. He defined "groove" on the bass. He will be missed. Sad day indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

57classic Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 His impact has been far and wide. Big loss but at least he went in a peaceful way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstMeasure Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 A tremendous loss!! I saw Booker T and the MG's in Marysville Ca. back in the mid 90's. They put on a great show and Dunn was a pleasure to watch. So smooth and authoritative. Very Sad News!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaleb Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 RIP! He was the first "bass god", so to speak. At least in my opinion. He'll be missed. I'll make sure to dedicate something to him at my next gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BT Bob Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I wasn't online at all yesterday so only just discovered this really sad news. Always loved Booker T & the MGs & his work with The Blues Brothers. RIP..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brundaddy Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 He was a baaaaaaaaad dude on the bass. Glad I also got to see him play live. I'll never forget it. "Play it in 'A' - good country key." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
