He was 70.

The Memphis-born bass legend was well known for his '60s work with Stax Records house band Booker T and the MGs as well as a host of other artists including Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Muddy Waters and Eric Clapton.
A highly regarded session musician working on countless albums throughout the '70s, he would later enjoy a career resurgence (and garner a legion of new fans) as a member of the Blues Brothers, even playing himself in the movie.
