Obituaries: Canadian Country Music Hall of Famer Barry Haugen, Steve Cropper of Booker T & the M.G.’s

This week we also acknowledge the passing of Toronto organist and choir director Dr. Giles Bryant, famed session guitarist Phil Upchurch and Skyhooks guitarist Bob Starkie.

Barry Haugen, a pioneer of the Canadian country music industry, died on Dec.1, at age 84, of cancer.

His work as a record label executive and a dedicated booster of Canadian country artists earned him induction into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame in 2009.
