So many guitarists have wanted to be Steve Cropper: quite rightly, and it made them better guitarists.
Fuck, this one hurts, for me the greatest guitarist, a musician in the service of the band and the song, who played on and helped create a wild succession of the finest records ever made. RIP Steve Cropper.

Goodbye Jerry Butler, one of my absolute favourite singers. So warm and expressive. I bought this LP when I worked at Our Price in Epsom in 1984, and I've been in love with his voice from that day on. His collaborations with Curtis Mayfield, then Gamble/Huff, all gold www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl74...

Jerry Butler was a brilliant singer, the nexus between music and politics in Chicago, a driven entrepreneur and crucial musical organizer. He was also a very kind and generous person as he took the time to speak with me at length for my research on "Move On Up." And his quips were hilarious.

Soft Machine co-founder Mike Ratledge has passed away today. He had such a distinctive and inventive voice as a soloist. I count myself lucky to have seen him play several times. A brilliant composer, he was also cool as fuck.
