Biography

Steve Cropper ranks among the most influential guitarists in the Memphis soul music scene. As a member of Booker T. & the M.G.'s, he wrote songs for and performed with artists like Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, and Sam & Dave—he's the "Steve" called upon in "Soul Man" when they say "Play it, Steve!" Cropper and Booker T.'s band also served as the backup band for the Blues Brothers, John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, in both "Blues Brothers" films.
