Agentsmith Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 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.

Steve Edgar Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 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! steve https://youtu.be/amo2PQKHmq4 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
