Donald "Duck" Dunn has passed away.
Just heard on NPR. One of the greats from the old Stax/Volt days.
RIP, Duck

RIP...
That's a blow to the gut.
I love Booker T. and the M.G.s, and Duck Dunn was one of my favorite musicians. Very sad news. I still haven't gotten over the death of Al Jackson 37 years ago, to tell you the truth.
L-R: Al Jackson, Jr. (drums), Booker T. Jones (organ, piano), Donald "Duck" Dunn (bass), Steve Cropper (guitar)
These guys were and are a huge influence on me personally, not only for their music but for their participation in an integrated group of Southerners in a time and place when that was truly daring.
He definitely HAD THE GROOVE!
