“We had a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline.” Edgy and direct, this Donald ‘Duck’ Dunn line from the 1980 film The Blues Brothers is a fitting eulogy for the legendary bassist, who passed away on May 13 2012.
Born in 1941, Dunn put the music of his Memphis hometown on the map, first as a member of the Mar-Kays, and then as the lynchpin of Stax Records house band Booker T. & the M.G.'s.
