Today, we join the global music community in mourning the loss of Steve Cropper.

As a member of Booker T. & the M.G.’s and the Stax Records house band, Steve helped shape the very heartbeat of American soul music. His unmistakable guitar lines, songwriting genius, and commitment to the craft left a mark on music around the world.

Steve was a collaborator, a leader, and a friend. His contributions helped define what came to be known as the Memphis sound. His work with Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Eddie Floyd, and so many others carried a spirit of authenticity and innovation that still resonates through our halls every day.

We are forever grateful for his contributions and the legacy he brought to Soulsville.

Our hearts are with his family, friends, and fans everywhere.�

Rest in power, Steve.

SUSAN CADOGAN - I KEEP ON LOVING YOU - 1975. Susan is very famous for the hit HURT SO GOOD she recorded with LEE PERRY as producer. Perry was so impressed by her voice that he invited her to record materials for a full album called SEXY SUZY in Jamaica in 1975. The album will became just "SUSAN CADOGAN" once released by Trojan in 1976. It included several standout tracks: “Hurt So Good”, “Do It Baby (Nice And Easy)”, “I Keep On Loving You” and “Fever”. Here is the brilliant “I Keep On Loving You”. Enjoy!

ABOUT SUSAN CADOGAN - Susan Ann Cadogan was born in 1951 in Kingston, Jamaica, a daughter of Rev. Claude Cadogan and Lola Cadogan, a gospel singer who had released several Christian music records. Susan took up a position as a librarian at the University of the West Indies near Kingston.
Her path to music began through a schoolfriend whose boyfriend, local DJ Jerry Lewis, recognized Susan’s vocal talent and arranged a recording session. By chance, Lee "Scratch" Perry was in the studio that day. Impressed by her voice, Perry invited her to record materials for an entire album, which included several standout tracks “Hurt So Good”, “Do It Baby (Nice And Easy)”, “I Keep On Loving You” and of course… “Fever”. "Hurt So Good" a cover of Millie Jackson's soul hit, flopped in Jamaica but was released in the UK on the DIP label and topped the UK reggae chart. She would enjoy one more UK chart entry in 1975 with “Love Me Baby” which reached number 22.
Susan returned to her role as a librarian, recording from time to time only but re-emerged in 1981, scoring a series of Jamaican hits with soulful reggae renditions of classics like “Tracks of My Tears” and “Piece of My Heart.” In 1982, her duet with Ruddy Thomas — a Reggae cover of “You Know How to Make Me Feel So Good” — dominated the UK Black chart for eight consecutive weeks.
Susan continued to record throughout the 1990s and beyond including a couple of albums produced by Mad Professor on Ariwa Records.
Today, Susan Cadogan, remains an icon of romantic Reggae performing on the UK and European reggae circuits, at festivals and cultural events...
