Shame.

Very sad news. Love the music of Booker T and the MGs and also his appearance in the the Blues Brothers. RIP.

Very sad to hear this, seriously talented guy who's featured on more than his fair share of iconic and legendary songs.

Bugger. R.I.P.

I confess I knew him mostly because of the Blues Brothers, but still very sad to hear of his passing. Rest in peace.

Likewise; I first saw him in the film, then started listening to Booker T and the MGs and other performers on the soundtrack.

Just about to start this as a topic, bloody shame, 71 too young, at least he died in his sleep.

Bummer. Those guys were the real deal. Going out painlessly on tour with your best friends is not a bad result for something that comes to us all.

So many great Stax records...
