Steve Cropper

El pasado día 3 fallecíó Steve Cropper, una verdadera leyenda del Soul y un compositor, guitarrista y productor brillante en este estilo.

 Fundador del grupo Booker T. & the M.G.'s y autor o coautor y colaborador de muchos de los grandes clásicos de Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett o Eddie Floyd, también participó activamente en el desarrollo del sello Stax, uno de los pilares del género junto a la Motown. 

Su nivel es tal, que un amigo y yo jugábamos a menudo a averiguar las canciones en las que había participado...y el resultado es increíble: Soul Man, Sitting on the Dock of the Bay, Green Onions, Time is Tight, In the Midnight Hour..

Descanse en paz

  

 

Mustang Sally - Wilson Pickett

Un tema dedicado a un modelo de coche compuesto por un tal Mack Rice que tiene sólo otro tema conocido. Pues vale.

Pero si llega Wilson Pickett con su voz y con los músicos de Atlantic y hace esta versión pues ya es otra cosa.

Espero que os guste

In The Midnight Hour - Wilson Pickett

I'm gonna wait 'till the midnight hour

That's when my love come tumbling down

I'm gonna wait 'till the midnight hour

When there' no one else around

I'm gonna take you, girl, and hold you

And do all things I told you, in the midnight hour

Yes I am, oh yes I am

One thing I just wanna say, right here

I'm gonna wait till the stars come out

And see that twinkle in your eyes

I'm gonna wait 'till the midnight hour

That's when my love begins to shine

You're the only girl I know

Can really love me so, in the midnight hour

Oh yeah, in the midnight hour

Yeah, all right, play it for me one time, now

I'm gonna wait 'till the midnight hour

That's when my love come tumbling down

I'm gonna wait, way in the midnight hour

That's when my love begin to shine, just you and I

Oh, baby, just you and I

Nobody around, baby, just you and I

Oh, right, you know what?

I'm gonna hold you in my arms, just you and I

Oh yeah, in the midnight hour

Oh, baby, in the midnight hour
