Memphis Soul Stew - Reggie Young / Cornell Dupree Lick from the King Curtis Song
Reggie Young (born December 12, 1936) is an American musician who was lead guitarist in the American Sound Studios Band (aka The Memphis Boys), and is a leading session musician. He played on various recordings with artists such as Elvis Presley, B.J. Thomas, John Prine, Dusty Springfield, Herbie Mann, J.J. Cale, Dionne Warwick, Roy Hamilton, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, the Box Tops, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Merle Haggard, and George Strait.
Cornell Dupree (December 19, 1942 – May 8, 2011) was an American jazz and R&B guitarist. He worked at various times with Bill Withers, Aretha Franklin, Lena Horne, Miles Davis, Joe Cocker, King Curtis and Brook Benton. He reportedly recorded on 2,500 sessions.
Born and raised in Fort Worth Texas, his Rhythm & Blues guitar playing was most notable for its tasteful and simple fills. Much like Steve Cropper, Dupree was highly influential. You can hear his influence in players like Jimi Hendrix and John Mayer.
BTW, he's the one who is known for playing the opening riff in Aretha's "Respect". Another one of his more famous songs is "Rainy Night In Georgia". Not a bad legacy!
Curtis Ousley (February 7, 1934 – August 13, 1971), performed under the stage name King Curtis, was an American saxophone virtuoso known for rhythm and blues, rock and roll, soul, blues, funk and soul jazz. Variously a bandleader, band member, and session musician, he was also a musical director and record producer. Adept at tenor, alto, and soprano saxophone, he was best known for his distinctive riffs and solos such as on "Yakety Yak", which later became the inspiration for Boots Randolph's "Yakety Sax" and his own "Memphis Soul Stew".
