The road band used by Jay and the Americans (Jay Black) included a couple of guys named Donald Fagen & Walter Becker.
I think they (Fagen & Becker) tried to start a band of their own but “settled” for studio musicians.
I just can’t recall the name of that band...
Hum... Fagen and Becker. Sound like a couple of “Steely” eyed killers to me.
