The famous Memhis musician,  Jim Dickinson died in his sleep early this morning (August 15th) in his sleep.  He was only 67 years old.  Dickinson went through a major, triple bypass surgery to repair his heart.

The Memphis producer/artist is perhaps best known for producing Big Star’s album 3rd, and his session work playing piano on tracks by Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, and Aretha Franklin, among countless others.

“He had a great life, and he was a consummate family man,” Dickinson’s wife, Mary, said. “He loved music and his family. And he loved Memphis music, specifically.”

He was an amazing man and a legend in the music world.  He will be greatly missed.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

R.I.P. Jim Dickinson
