“Cropper puts everything he’s got, which is considerable, at the disposal of the artist and the song: metronome-crisp timing; deadly-accurate chops; earth-moving bottom-line riffs; sharp, nasty little licks and grace notes. His solos never outstay their welcome or leave you wanting less,” it read.
Cropper was inducted into the Rock and Rock Hall of Fame in 1992. He is survived by his wife, Angel, and four children.
Rest in peace, Steve Cropper.
