RIP Donald, The MG's just won't be the same without you.

cornerstone of memphis's historic house band, dunn, originally a member of the markey's, replaced steinberg in 63, and became part of the furniture...if there was a genuine answer at the time to jamerson, this would have to be the man...the stax studios reverberated to his consistant sound...god rest your soul brother, amen.

What a truly sad loss. One of the great musicians at Stax that contributed SO much. RIP

A sad loss RIP

oh wow, what a loss, had the pleasure of chatting with him a few years back, sad day RIP.

A TRUE legendary bass player. at 70 it seems young these days but to pass away in his sleep after performing at a gig would seem the kindest way to go for me

RIP another who has left an indelible note on the music in my life... thankyou Mr Dunn

.... here's a clip that a French company filmed down in Memphis, at 4mins 45 secs. there is a back of the neck hair lifting moment for me....... memories of youth!

In some cases it's true.

Him and Al, the rhythm that never failed.

We'll never see the like again.

RIP

This is sad news. His bass graced an incredible number of great records. RIP...

very sad news. just watching that clip above reinforces the fact that Dunn & Jackson were tighter than a gnats chuff. RIP

Very sad ,another legend passes ...influenced so much of our listening pleasure , probably before we actually realised it ...

Very sad news indeed................God Bless

Seems that Dunn passed away this morning after a Booker T & MG's gig in Tokyo ....

A real Soul Man.....................

A real soul legend.

My son just emailed me the link to this. Tragic loss!

Just heard. Good to have Soul Source here to confirm and get more info. Very sad at that age, but good to hear he was still performing.

I was lucky enough to see him in The Otis Redding show tour in Liverpool '67. I love picking out his bass when listening to my Memphis tracks, always distinctive and innovative.

Very Sad News. Another Legend Passes.

R.I.P.

Sad loss, he was a fantastic bass guitarist

RIP Donald. He played a part in so much fantastic music.

sad stuff, RIP.

Very sad to hear this.

He was in a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline.

Donald was an exceptional bass player & will be missed by all music fans.!

R.I.P. D.D.D.

Like EDDIE said, one of the men who became part of the permanent soundtrack to our lives and before a lot of us even knew his identity.....Can't believe it, spent a good forty minutes after the footall yesterday, downloading BOOKER T instrumentals, listened to them all night last night, woke up and saw this...A great loss to the music....

He was certainly a genius, and one of the most influencial basists ever!
