    If I remember rightly, he was the one with the pipe who uttered the immortal line:
    "If the shit fits, wear it".

    Is that right?

    RIP

    Saw him a couple of times with different bands. Great bass player. And I love the Blues Brothers as well.

    RIP

    A true legend. I feel a bit ashamed to bring up the Blues Brothers first, but it was after all a classic film. I think I'm over 70 viewings of that one. Donald "Duck" Dunn... "We had a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline."

    One of those musicians who quietly contributed so much to music, without casual observers having any idea.

    Someone showed me a list of albums he had played on today, it ran to four sides of A4. And, an awful lot of them were classics. RIP?

    RIP Duck.

    Played with so many legends including my hero Neil Young. Sad as he can't have been too old either.

    Booker T and Steve Cropper still playing and going strong.
