Steve Cropper - On the Dock of the Bay
Manage episode 284223911 series 2826435
The one and only Steve Cropper shares the story of when Jerry Wexler set him up to write with Wilson Pickett, and they ended up writing multiple songs within the first couple hours of meeting. Cropper reminisces on the “Old Nashville” and all of the wonderful hangouts where he’d run into other music industry friends over the course of his 30+ year Nashville history, including a former bi-monthly commute from Los Angeles. Steve expresses his appreciation for European music fans and their dedication to follow the uncredited musicians “behind the music.” He also tells the story of being introduced to his (now) wife and the secret key to winning her over, which lead to turning a European concert tour with The Blues Brothers into their honeymoon.
Performances:
“In The Midnight Hour“ (Wilson Pickett) - Steve Cropper & Phil Vassar
“(Sittin’ On) The Dock Of The Bay“ (Otis Reddint) - Steve Cropper & Phil Vassar
