Steve Cropper on Stax and 'Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay'

Ronnie Wood and Steve Cropper discuss Stax Records and writing 'Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay' with Otis Redding just before his death. They discuss the inspiration for the lyrics and the fact that Otis never heard the final version with the electric guitar which we all know and love.

Plus, Steve talks about getting to play guitar alongside Rufus and Carla Thomas, Wilson Pickett, William Bell, and Eddie Floyd.
