    STEVE CROPPER facebook.com/stevecropper twitter.com/officialcropper Image not found or type unknown youtube.com/channel/UCQk6gXkhbUNnhgXHaARGskg playitsteve.com en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Cropper open.spotify.com/artist/1gLCO8HDtmhp1eWmGcPl8S If Yankee Stadium is “the house that Babe Ruth built,” Stax Records is “the house that Booker T, and the MG’s built.” Integral to that potent combination is MG rhythm guitarist extraordinaire Steve Cropper. As a guitarist, A & R man, engineer, producer, songwriting partner of Otis Redding, Eddie Floyd and a dozen others and founding member of both Booker T. and the MG’s and The Mar-Keys, Cropper was literally involved in virtually every record issued by Stax from the fall of 1961 through year end 1970.Such credits assure Cropper of an honored place in the soul music hall of fame. As co-writer of (Sittin’ On) The Dock Of The Bay, Knock On Wood and In The Midnight Hour, Cropper is in line for immortality. Born on October 21, 1941 on a farm near Dora, Missouri, Steve Cropper moved with his family to Memphis at the age of nine. In Missouri he had been exposed to a wealth of country music and little else. In his adopted home, his thirsty ears amply drank of the fountain of Gospel, R & B and nascent Rock and Roll that thundered over the airwaves of both black and white Memphis radio. Bit by the music bug, Cropper acquired his first mail order guitar at the age of 14. Personal guitar heroes included Tal Farlow, Chuck Berry, Jimmy Reed, Chet Atkins, Lowman Pauling of the Five Royales and Billy Butler of the Bill Doggett band.

  • Memphis Electronic Music: Finding Soul in the Age of Lifeless Machines Marcus Tate Rhodes College, Class of 2019 Rhodes Institut
    Memphis Electronic Music: Finding Soul in the Age of Lifeless Machines Marcus Tate Rhodes College, Class of 2019 Rhodes Institute for Regional Studies Advisor: Dr. John Bass From a very young age, I had a very intimate relationship with music. I would always listen to many different genres like classical and film music to trap and R&B. After listening to so much music, it instantly grew my desire to create music myself. However, when you come from a poor family like myself, the options to create music are severely limited, even if you come from Memphis, the capital city of blues and soul. For a long time, many of the options to create music in Memphis could only be used by the people who could afford the instruments and instruction or people who knew others who could afford these things. However, there are many ways that people can use tools to create music, most of which can be done with little expense. What I wish to argue with my project is if it is possible to create inexpensive tools that create music, how Memphians create their own tools to create music, and should these tools can be called “musical instruments” like the music instruments we have today. Building a synthesizer will help me answer this question because it allows me to demonstrate that musical instruments can be made with little money and little experience in electronics. It also allows me to present how this synthesizer is just as much of tool for creating music as the musical instruments that we have today and present the history of how these present day musical instruments first began as just tools.

  • Memphis Electronic Music
    MEMPHIS ELECTRONIC MUSIC FINDING SOUL IN THE AGE OF LIFELESS MACHINES MARCUS TATE WHAT IS ELECTRONIC MUSIC? • “Electronic Music is a medium of expression, not a specific type of music.” – Physics and the Sound of Music (Rigden, 266) • Electronic Music deals with tools used to make music. • Many people have the misconception that electronic music is like EDM or dubstep. ELECTRONICS AS TOOLS FOR MAKING ART • There are some opposing opinions that electronics cannot be considered tools for making art, such as computers and electronics are not capable of making something as human as art. • However, most of the tools for art that we already have come from things that originally made for art; someone invented ways to create art from it. • “…the saxophone as ‘a piece of metal capable of making sounds’.” – Andrew Raffo Dewar, performer at Memphis Concrete Festival (Richard Grooms, The Improvisor) MEMPHIS AND ELECTRONIC MUSIC: RELIGION • Within the Bible Belt, there are a significant amount of churches, all of which need music and an organ to play this music. • Many churches couldn’t afford a pipe organ or couldn’t fit the size of the pipe organ. This demand for the pipe organ sound inspired the creation of electronic organs, which offer a similar sound to the pipe organ through circuitry at a much more affordable price and portable size. • “The forerunner of the modern electronic organs was the Hammond organ introduced in 1935.” -The Musician’s Guide to Acoustics (Campbell 503) MEMPHIS AND ELECTRONIC MUSIC: THE HAMMOND ORGAN • “The Hammond was originally aimed at the churches that couldn’t afford a pipe organ, so it found its way into blues, rock, and Motown by way of gospel music.

  • The Social and Economic Impact of the Stax Legacy on the Soulsville Community Joshua Cape 2011 Rhodes Institute for Regional Studies Introduction
    Cape 1 The Social and Economic Impact of the Stax Legacy on the Soulsville Community Joshua Cape 2011 Rhodes Institute for Regional Studies Introduction The story behind Memphis‟ role in the proliferation of soul music relies heavily on Stax Records, a soul music powerhouse during the 1960s and 1970s.1 The sound of Stax found a niche in the soul and R&B music markets, and Stax served as a medium for championing social issues. On a global level, Stax Records defined Memphis soul music as the “Memphis Sound” and is remembered today as a symbol of racial integration. On a local level, Stax maintained an intimate relationship with the surrounding community, now known as Soulsville U.S.A.2 Although mentioned by Robert Gordon and Peter Guralnick in their books on Memphis music, it was only through the work of Dr. Rob Bowman, a professor of ethnomusicology who spent more than a decade researching Stax, that definitive historical and musicological accounts of the soul label were compiled.3 Bowman‟s book entitled Soulsville U.S.A.: The Story of Stax Records offers a detailed study of the label‟s life, exploring its significance as both a local focal point and a business. Despite touching on Stax‟s relationship with its surroundings, Bowman 1 Aside: Throughout its history, numerous Stax recordings charted on Billboard magazine’s music charts. The soulful Stax sound often found itself charting in the R&B classification, since no soul chart existed at the time. For a detailed analysis of Stax soul music, read Bowman’s dissertation Stax Records: A Historical and Musicological Study (diss.

  • From Soul Food to Whole Foods: the Soul Food Restaurant in Memphis Today Annie Bares 2012 Rhodes Institute for Regional Studies
    B a r e s | 1 From Soul Food to Whole Foods: The Soul Food Restaurant in Memphis Today Annie Bares 2012 Rhodes Institute for Regional Studies Introduction In the January 1969 issue of Time Magazine, an anonymous article titled “Eating like Soul Brothers” declared: Soul food is often fatty, overcooked and under seasoned. Vegetables are boiled with fatback for so long that their taste and nutritional value go up in steam; meats have to be sprinkled liberally with salt and pepper to give the eater anything to remember them by. Considering the tastelessness of the cuisine, the soul-food fad seems certain to be fairly short-lived. For many Negroes, it is long since over; it ended in fact, as soon as they could afford better food. (“Eating like Soul Brothers, 57) Noted African American cultural critic Verta Mae Grosvenor responded to the article in her 1971 part-cookbook, part-personal narrative, Vibration Cooking, or Notes from a Gee Chee Girl with a formidable critique in defense of soul food: You have the bad taste to say that soul food is tasteless. Your taste buds are so racist that they can’t even deal with black food. Your comment that the ‘soul food fad’ is going to be short lived is dumb. But then your whole culture is made of short-lived fads. So you white folks just keep on eating that white foam rubber bread that sticks to the roof of your mouth, and keep on eating minute rice and B a r e s | 2 instant potatoes, instant cereals and drinking instant milk and stick to your instant culture.

  • Royal Studios and the Creation of the Hi Sound
    Royal Studios and the Creation of the Hi Sound Matt Hicks 2013 Rhodes Institute for Regional Studies To say the city of Memphis has a legacy of music is an understatement. From the home of the blues and to the birthplace of rock n' roll, from Elvis to Al Green, Memphis has served as a conduit of musical ideas, shaping and influencing upcoming artists with the legacies of their forerunners. The concentration of music in this city led to the development of many recording studios. In turn, these studios shaped Memphis's musical output. It is difficult to imagine rock and roll without the recordings created at Sun Studio in the fifties. In the following decades, soul music was nurtured at Stax and then Royal studios, creating a worldwide phenomenon. In many ways, Memphis’s recording spaces – and the producers and engineers that worked them – facilitated the growth of Memphis music. This is especially the case with Royal Studios. Unfortunately, many of the most successful of Memphis's recording studios were forced to close by the late seventies. Sun Studios began its decline after Elvis Presley left the label and am Phillips lost interest. The label was sold to Shelby Singleton and Mercury Records in 1969, and the studio was sold to an auto parts company, then converted back into a recording studio in 1987 and reopened as a museum. Stax met a similar fate in 1975, after several years of distribution problems with Atlantic Records and later CBS Records. Bankrupt by December of 1975, the Stax label was sold to Fantasy Records.
