1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:02,280 Speaker 1: The Michael Marry Show. 2 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 2: Steve Cropper, you are the soundtrack of my life. 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: Wow. 4 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 3: Wow. 5 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 2: You know, it is interesting to walk around with a 6 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,319 Speaker 2: legend and hear people tell stories about you know, my 7 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 2: dad listened to this and I remember when that song 8 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 2: came out. And you've had a charm life, My man, 9 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 2: you've had a charm life, a charm life. Indeed, you're 10 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 2: not gonna leave this. But one of the biggest questions 11 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 2: maybe you will, that I'm getting from people is I'm 12 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 2: I'm gonna take about fifty emails and compress them into one, 13 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 2: and it's basically this, my child seems to have artistic talent. 14 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 1: I don't care to live off my. 15 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 2: Child's musical abilities or through my child, But what is 16 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 2: the best way to encourage them and foster that talent? 17 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 1: Is it lessons? 18 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 2: How early is too is too early to start? I 19 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 2: know yours was a you know things are different now. 20 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 2: You didn't have honey booboos back when you. 21 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 3: Were a kid, or exactly. 22 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 2: But one of the questions is people don't want to 23 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,959 Speaker 2: They don't want to push their kid too much. They 24 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 2: want to encourage this as a hobby and as a 25 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 2: passion and a lifelong thing and not a job. But 26 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 2: I'm sure you've received this question before. 27 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: How do you answer that well? 28 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 3: As a parent, I think one of the rules is 29 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 3: you want to be as supportive as you can, but 30 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 3: you don't really want to be the person doing all 31 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 3: the legwork because that can get in your way. You 32 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 3: just want to support your child and let them know 33 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,320 Speaker 3: you're behind them one hundred percent. The other thing is, 34 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 3: in terms of actually making a career out of music, 35 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 3: it's almost impossible for a person to just lock up 36 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 3: and be an overnight success. You really have to find 37 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 3: somebody that is in that end of the business, meaning 38 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 3: like management, that's going to take that talent and take 39 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 3: that artist and be on that phone every day promoting 40 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 3: and supporting that artist and trying to find that artist's 41 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 3: work or placing in the music business, or get them 42 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 3: a record deal, or however you want to do it. 43 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 3: It really takes an organization of people to push. 44 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 2: So, knowing what you know now after all these years 45 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 2: and all those artists, what do you wish you'd known 46 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 2: at the beginning of your career. What's that lesson that 47 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 2: it took a long time to learn about the business. 48 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 3: Oh, that's a great question. That's one I'm gonna have 49 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 3: to stay up tonight and think about. I've led a 50 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 3: charm life of a sense. I've had about three different 51 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 3: careers and still going on another one. I'm always telling 52 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 3: people when they want me to do something, I said, Man, 53 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 3: I ain't got time for another career, you know, I'm 54 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 3: running out of days, and stick with what we've got 55 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 3: and go there. 56 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 1: And you're trying to spend most of your time playing gone, well. 57 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 3: They're fishing and I'm not getting to do either one. 58 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 3: But there was a dead spot in my life where 59 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 3: I took some time off. When John Belushi died, I 60 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 3: just kind of said, man, that's it. I've had it, 61 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 3: you know, because I've been through that before. We lost 62 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 3: our drummer, we lost Ortis Reading and some other artists 63 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 3: that I've worked with, and Belushi just did it all. 64 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 3: It was like it you talk about letting the air 65 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 3: out of a balloon. I just didn't have any you know, 66 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 3: reason or want or need to be successful or do anything. 67 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 3: We did. The movie we did great, and all of 68 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 3: a sudden that the wind came out of ourselves. We 69 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,679 Speaker 3: were ready to make another movie. We were ready to 70 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 3: do another tour, another record, and boom, it's all gone. 71 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 3: John Belushi's gone. So I don't know what I what 72 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 3: I wish I had done different because I stayed on 73 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 3: that same positive path about being commercial to entertain people, 74 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 3: to give them what they needed, what they wanted, and 75 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 3: so forth. And you know, the older I got, then 76 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 3: I kind of lost, you know, not my way, but 77 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 3: lost the ability to be able to do that. And 78 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 3: when I was with Stacks and or have my own label, 79 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 3: I was in more control about what went on and 80 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 3: what went out. Let's put it that way. And when 81 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 3: you lose that, then you know, then you have to 82 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 3: depend on other people to support you. 83 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: Steve Cropper is our guests. 84 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 2: When when you look at your body of work and 85 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 2: we're talking last night, you're still writing songs. 86 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you're still write a lot of songs. 87 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 3: I love to write. That's what fun? You know? 88 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: What are you most proud of? 89 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 3: You? 90 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: If you are forced to identifying. 91 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 3: I can't nail it down to one thing because I 92 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 3: always get off what's your favorite song? And there's so 93 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 3: many factors in there. But the most fun that I 94 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 3: get out out of life being alive and still being here. 95 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 3: And you know I have fun performance for people. I'm 96 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 3: having fun right now talking to you and talking to 97 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 3: your audience. That's great. But as far as getting a 98 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 3: thrill out of it, the biggest thrill I get is 99 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 3: hearing a song that I've written on the radio. I 100 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 3: get a bigger thrill out of that, believe it or not, 101 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 3: than I do hearing a song in a movie. There's 102 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 3: something about radio and you hear it on the radio, 103 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 3: You're sitting in your car and you go, hey, I 104 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 3: had something to do with it. Hey, that's me. There's 105 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 3: just something that's rewarding about that. And I'll never get 106 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 3: over it. And I try to tell students or people 107 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 3: that want to know, I said, the greatest thrill you're 108 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 3: ever going to have in your life is the first 109 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 3: time you hear your record or your song on the radio. 110 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 2: We you told me some pretty fascinating stories of touring 111 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 2: with Jimmy Buffett, Neil Young, Eric Clapton and the Beatles. 112 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 2: Wanted to come to Memphis and play with you. You 113 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 2: You've played with some amazing people over the years.

Who is you can only have one 117 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 2: and you have to answer this, Who is the one 118 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 2: artist that she didn't get to play with? That you say, 119 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 2: if I could have one, chit that's it? And I said, chit. 120 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 3: Well it's too late now. But there's only one answer. 121 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: What's that? 122 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 3: Tina Turner? 123 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 1: Really? Why? 124 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 3: I've always said that, I've said it for years. If 125 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 3: I get asked, who's the one artist that you didn't 126 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 3: get to work with that you would have loved to 127 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 3: work with? And the first name is Tina Turner. Wow, 128 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 3: she's just unbelievable. I saw her three times live and 129 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 3: couldn't believe it. 130 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 2: You have a lot of respect for her because you 131 00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 2: you were dismissive of the statement that's been made of 132 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 2: her that she was an overnight success, because you said 133 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 2: she'd been at it for forty years. 134 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: Is it that she works so hard? He said? What 135 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: is so special about her? 136 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 3: You know? I don't know, but the thing I got 137 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 3: out of her as an artist and seeing her live, 138 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 3: she was a female Otis Redding, And to me, Otis 139 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 3: Redding was the greatest artist I ever lived. You had 140 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 3: to live with him, you had to be there you 141 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 3: had to see it in person, because it's so hard 142 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 3: to describe how great somebody is. But it's easy to 143 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 3: see if you could take somebody to a concert. And 144 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 3: what's a nice reward for me with some of my 145 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 3: fans over in the UK. When I go over there 146 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 3: with the animals and so forth, I have people come 147 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 3: up and say, I saw that concert you did in 148 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 3: London or wherever in nineteen sixty seven. I was there. 149 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 3: I was twelve years old. My dad brought me, but 150 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 3: I remember Otis ready. He was unbelievable. And so that's 151 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 3: a thrill to have witnesses say the same thing I've 152 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 3: been saying. He was just fantastic. 153 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 2: You know what I love is that you're a musician, 154 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,559 Speaker 2: you're in the Hall of Fame, Songrise Hall of Fame, 155 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 2: but you're a fan. 156 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: Wow. 157 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 3: I don't want to lose this good thing that I got. 158 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 3: If I do, I would surely surely lose a lot. 159 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 3: Cause you love it's better than any love. 160 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 2: I know. 161 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 3: It's like under lightning.
