John Holton Song of the Day January 10, 2023January 9, 2023 1 Minute

Happy 75th birthday to singer, songwriter, and keyboardist Donald Fagen. With the late Walter Becker, Donald was the founder of Steely Dan, and since Becker’s death continues to tour as its lone surviving member. Donald’s first solo album, 1982’s The Nighfly, received seven Grammy nominations. The first single from the album was “I. G. Y.” It reached #26 on the Hot 100 in late 1982.

  Fagen’s solo albums are all good, with “The Nightfly” and “Kamakiriad” being my favorites.
