They never distracted from the singer; instead, they reinforced the vocal line.\n(3)His tone was clean, bright, and unadorned. He rarely used effects, preferring the natural sound of his Fender Telecaster or Esquire through a tube amp. :https://www.culturesonar.com/appreciating-steve-cropper-a-master-of-concision-and-taste/\n--\nThis song was written by Alvertis Isbell (Al Bell), producer and co-owner of Stax Records.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
