paul secor Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 One fourth of one of the best rhythm sections of all time. Thanks, Mr. Dunn. You'll be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Nelson Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 As 'Duck' was doing a three-night stand with Stax buds Steve Cropper and Eddie Floyd at Tokyo's Blue Note -- I can surmise he played the final Saturday set, retired to his hotel, went to bed and died in his sleep. When it came for his 'check-out time', Duck went out in class. Here's the May 10-12 gig: http://www.bluenote.co.jp/jp/artist/stax/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinuta Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 A sad loss, the Booker T. & The MG's rhythm section was badass before the word was invented. The Guardian says -- My link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papsrus Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Geez. Dunn lived in this area, or at least did some years ago. Met him at a small party about 10 years back. Very gracious. Talked a lot about how he loved to golf. Damn shame. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 He was a ROCK! Saw him when the Stax revue (with Otis Redding, Sam and Dave, Booker T and others) played at the Paris Olympia in 1967... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejp626 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 This is a pretty cool work-out for Dunn (Booker-Loo). As someone says, he's rocking the green plaid jacket. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kgBgX5HsqU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am, needless to say, bummed beyond words by Duck's departure, for me he & Tommy cogbill are pretty much 'it' on 'lectric bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
