Yes, Cropper, despite being modest about his abilities, was really amazing. I remember a DJ on a radio station in Cincinnati obsessively playing Booker T. & The MGs "Melting Pot" and being awed by Cropper's playing. Up until recently, a park near my home would have a free summer concert featuring nationally known musical acts. Cropper played at one of those concerts a few years back. I missed the show. Psy-Fi and other who got to see him are really fortunate.
