Biography of Steely Dan
The songwriting duo of Donald Fagen (b 1951) and Walter Fagen formed Steely Dan in late 1971 after moving to ABC Records with producer Gary Katz. Primarily a studio group (using top session players and singers for various albums), they hated touring and ignored the singles market whenever possible. But the formula worked like a charm, as all their albums hit the US chart (two winning Grammy awards for Best Engineering) and sly, cynical songs like "Reeling in the Years" and "My Old School" became some of the quirkiest, and best, AM hits of the decade. ~ Cub Koda
