Donald Fagen celebrates his 72nd birthday today (January 10th). The first Steely Dan song they actually heard on the radio, which Donald Fagen says was “definitely a mindblower.” was Do It Again fro the album: Can’t Buy a Thrill It made it to number-six on the Billboard Hot 100
Technically, “Do It Again” wasn’t Steely Dan’s first single. Before their debut album, Can’t Buy a Thrill, came out they put out a 45 titled “Dallas,” which sunk without a trace. But “Do It Again” was the first one off the album and even more importantly, the band’s first major hit. Singer-keyboardist
