Steve Cropper\u2019s longtime associate, Eddie Gore, stated that he was with the legendary guitarist at a rehabilitation clinic on Tuesday. Cropper had a recent fall.<\/p>\n<p>Gore stated that Steve had been working on new music, calling the musician \u201csuch a good human\u201d and that they were \u201cblessed to have him.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-steve-cropper-the-legendary-blues-brothers-guitarist-dead-at-84\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steve Cropper, the legendary \u2018Blues Brothers\u2019 guitarist, dead at 84<\/h2>\n<p>Born on October 21, 1941, in Dora, Missouri, Steve Cropper moved to Memphis with his family at the age of nine. Sox years later, he began playing the guitar. In Memphis, black church music was a major influence, and eventually, he began working as a musician.<\/p>\n<p>Cropper was perhaps not the most flashy guitar player, but used cathy licks and rhythm chops which came to define the soul music of Memphis. In an era when racism was still a major issue, Cropper was one of the rare white artists who didn\u2019t mind keeping a low profile while collaborating with many black soul musicians.<\/p>\n<p>Cropper played guitar on many legendary songs, among them the 1967 Sam &amp; Dave superhit\u00a0\u201cSoul Man.\u201d In fact, singer Sam Moore even called out, \u201cPlay it, Steve,\u201d as the guitarist blasted out a riff.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-space\" data-google-query-id=\"CKL6wPSupZEDFdDPDQkdUqAFAg\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-181697 entered lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/12\/04080137\/stevecropper1.jpg\" alt=\"Steve Cropper.
