He's quick to laugh with a twang that betrays his Southern Missouri origin. Steve Cropper discusses his accomplishments with modesty, rarely offering a glimpse into a career that profoundly impacted the course of 20th century popular music. As a core, founding member of Booker T & the MGs, the guitars helped form the backbone of the Stax Record sound. Cropper cowrote some of the era's most iconic songs, including "Knock on Wood," "In the Midnight Hour" and "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay, the latter of which he almost mixed following Otis Redding's untimely passing. The MGs made their own mark with the massive success of "Green Onions," before Cropper transitioned into a successful producing career and served as the longstanding guitarist for comedy duo, The Blues Brothers.
