in 2011, Steve Cropper invited some folks to Memphis to record a tribute record for the 5 Royales

Remember that Steve played with hundreds of artists over the years as a member of the Stax Records studio band, a member of Booker T and The MGs oh, also the Blues Brothers.

He knew a bunch of folks, like Brian May. You can't mistake that guitar tone...
