"Everyone will remember Steve Cropper as a musical giant, but he was bigger than that. Along with Booker T and the MGs he helped integrate the south during the civil rights struggle bringing black and white fans together at a time when it was not allowed and dangerous. He was not only talented, he was courageous and brave.
Steve produced my fourth album and he was a joy to make music with. He made me a better artist and a better person. I will always love him and be grateful for our friendship."

I saw Booker T & The MG's a couple of times and they were top shelf.
