About
Not strictly a Steely Dan Track this is from Donald Fagen's Nightfly album. It's as close as he gets to classic Steely tracks. I always thought Fagen wrote it but it is actually a cover they did of a Liber Stoller song. They know a good song when they see one.
My approach is to jump genres with the beats; there's Dubstep and Disco there! Some horns and a clavinet bassline later and - Voila! It was actually written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, not Fagen. It was originally recorded by The Drifters. Their version was released on a single by Atlantic Records in 195
"Ruby Baby" is an cover instrumental track. This instrumental is in the pop genre and also has a jazz rock feel.
Author
It is a composition by Leiber Stoller.
The track was first made available here in 2015, though copyright precedes that, as can be fully ascertained from registration with The Performing Rights Society in the United Kingdom.
