Friday Music

The American jazz-rock band - Steely Dan – was founded in 1972 by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen.  Becker (guitars, bass, backing vocals) and Fagen (keyboards, lead vocals) were backed by a rotating collection of session musicians.  The band received some critical and commercial success yet in 1974 discontinued any live performances to become a studio-only band.  Reelin' In the Years was released as the second single from their 1972 album - Can't Buy a Thrill. It reached number 11 in the Billboard charts.  Every time I hear it I have a flashback to my senior year in High school.
