1970 I am 8 years old growing up in Ojai, Ca, listening to this song in the backseat of our car from the the car radio. Just loving it. I got 50 cents a week for doing chores and I spent every dime on 45s. I bought this 45 as soon as I could skate down to the record store. LOL
There's something otherworldly in Donald Fagen's voice - it's like a unique musical instrument, all of it's own. And the music of Steely Dan has a depth and beauty, unequalled I think, in the entire pop/rock pantheon.
Fagen is such a card, I remember hearing an interview he did on NPR in the 90's, probably 'Fresh Air' with Terry Gross, I don't remember, when they were discussing his (then) new album, 'Kamakiriad' and one cut in particular that had the lyrics 'She's a virus wearing pumps and pearls'.. the interviewer, who was a woman, asked Fagen .. 'those are some pretty misogynistic lyrics, don't you think?..' and without missing a beat, Fagen answered,.. 'Hey man, if you don't like it.. make your own album..' I almost had to pull over, I was laughing so hard.
The lead guitarist, Jeffrey Allen "Skunk" Baxter is known for his stints in the rock bands Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers during the 1970s and Spirit in the 1980s. More recently, he has worked as a defense consultant and chaired a Congressional Advisory Board on missile defense. How about that.
I am so glad that you did this song! I remember laying in bed at night with my tiny transistor radio (AM only) at the age of around twelve years old and hearing this song. It really made an impression on me.
Sounds like you & I are about the same age. My mother seriously regretted buying me this album when it came out b/c I nearly drove her nuts playing it over & over & over. I'm still playing over & over & ....
"They met while both were at Bard College..." Yeah, it's in Annandale. You could probably take a Wolverine Train up there. But he's never going back to his old school.
This is the track I use to set up my sound system. So much dynamic range. Unbelievable studio work and the players...well you know. Jamel, get it done brother.
Jamal_AKA_Jamal 65 yo geeza here... I've heard, watched & listened to this song since the begining... BUT to watch it with you again. It's a joy... thank YOU..!
Steely Dan had so many powerhouse musicians working in the studio. It seems like no matter who the drummer, lead guitar or piano/organ performer it seemed to magically meld together.
I wish more reactors would check those out. There is so much great music on the later Steely Dan albums and Donald Fagen solo albums, yet they go ignored.
Jamal you hit that number I won't listen to No one else 🎶🎶🎶 Congrats 👏 Jamal on hitting your goal number on your bday weekend. It's because of great numbers like this, and being willing to listen to such a variety. ✌ and 💘
Funny! This song has been rolln' around in my head all afternoon. I came home from work and found that you reacted to it. Spooooky, and it's not even Halloween yet!
I could watch you react to Steely Dan all day long. Same goes for Linda Ronstadt. Would like to see your reaction to her iconic song “Long Long Time” (and so many others). She had the sweetest voice on the planet. Happy Belated Birthday 🎂 🎁🍾
You have to check out “Song For My Father” by jazz great Horace Silver, which “Rikki” directly references-the Dan were massively jazz-influenced, and it shows.
I don’t think that’s true-either that they sampled it (you can tell that by just listening to the two songs, or the fact that sampling wasn’t “a thing” in 1974), or that they claimed to. Happy to be proven wrong, though.
@@bobrouse8634 Sampling wasn't really around when this song was recorded. That, and they had access to the best studio musicians. That bass line is great, but so easy to replicate. Donald Fagan was quoted “There was never a conscious thought about picking up Horace Silver’s intro."
Whether Donald Fagan said there was no conscious thought about picking up Horace Silver's intro or not, it's absolutely what was done. The intros are exactly the same. This needn't take away from the Steely Dan song - it's one of my favorites - as artists have borrowed from each other, like, forever.
Steely Dan, Doobie Brothers, Dire Straits, Creedence Clearwater Revival and after that John Fogerty solo. Only a couple years' worth of reactions there!
Donald Fagen has a DVD entitled "Concepts for Jazz / Rock Piano" in which he goes over the creative process (piano cords, etc.) behind Steely Dan's and his solo record hits!!! Even if you don't know much about playing the piano, it's still a joy to watch and listen to him talk about the creative process!!!
Brother Jamel - thank you for opening up to the music that many of us grew up with. I’m 69 years old so I can introduce you to many of the bands that were the foundation for the music of the late 60’s and 70’s. I also can answer many of the questions you raise and would welcome any contact you wish to make to answer your questions. If I don’t know the answer, I’ll tell you, but there are many bands that came from the 60’s which I think you’d find is another ride worth taking. Keep on truck in’!!
One of many recordings they made that are in a class by themselves.......They were fantastic....This album got me started and I never stop listening to all their music....With a good set of headphones it's heaven.......
I was 10 years old in 1974 and this song reminds me of heading north on I75 in Michigan up to our farm in Indian river in my dads cool custom van... It had a quadraphonic 8 track, I loving this song.....everytime i hear it im in that van with my family. RIP dad i miss ya and love ya
Walter Becker said people were always saying they “got it” about the “number” being about a joint. Wrong, man. BTW Jamal, you need to check out “King of the World” - another Dan banger.
I'm 54 and I first heard "King..."' when I was in my late teens. Damn those overlaying guitar textures are just too good. Cheers from a fellow human that doesn't just listen to music but appreciates the talent it takes to make real music with real musicians.
Jeff Campbell - Thanks for your comment. So much you can say about these guys- the greatness they achieved partly by moving to LA where so many great studio musicians were available. One aspect I really love is Fagen’s smart lyrics, which are often head scratchers. Leave it to an English major to go long on meaning and metaphor. Only found out today what “ King of the World” is about after a lookup on song meaning sites.
When I first heard this song as a teenager, it was Love at first hear. I could tell this band was musically superior to most of the (great) stuff out there already in the 70's. They are and will always be my deserted island choice.
I am THRILLED you are reacting to this song! it's my favorite considering I didn't request this on instagram.. I DID however request it on a YT Steely Dan reaction video. THANK YOU. I LOVE this song.. and I am commenting before watching.. I hope you like it too. xD
Can you please react to The Who’s “A Quick One While He’s Away” from the Rolling Stones rock n roll circus event? It’s one of their best live performances ever!! It’s so entertaining, you won’t regret!!
I first started hearing it on the radio a lot, while stationed at Camp Pendleton, during the spring & summer of 1974. And some other song....'Midnight At the Oasis'. Those two always give me the flashbacks.
Several years ago while driving and listening to kJazz, this catchy mid 60's tune came on called "Song for My Father" by Horace Silver Quintet. I recognized the beginning piano intro...thinking out loud..ahhh this is where Becker & Fagen got that piano hook for "Rikki don't Lose that Number". This song will always remind me of my uncle's wedding in 1974, I was a flower girl, riding in the car with the maid of honor & bestman, my cousin Bruce -a groomsmen chauffeured us from the church to this beautiful hill top park for pictures...while a Steely Dan 8 track tape was playing 😊💖 Thank you Jamel for playing this song
Hey Jamel! I think you would appreciate the "Ozark Mountain Daredevils" - If You Wanna Get To Heaven It is very much southern rock, and I know you love the harmonica...like me! :-) Have fun!
Love this song! Love Steely Dan! I have always dedicated this song to my Brother Rickey who I lost in July 2018! Grew up listening to all this great music from the 70’s with my older Brothers & Sister! I know all of them!👍❤️ Miss u my Brother!! 💕
Love everything Steely Dan. Piano and chimes so pretty, guitar so clear, signature Baxter. Fond memories of playing "Josie" on tenor sax in jazz band sophomore year. Has that song been 'discovered' yet?
The classic of ALL Steely Dan classics. Guitar solo is orgasmic
1970 I am 8 years old growing up in Ojai, Ca, listening to this song in the backseat of our car from the the car radio. Just loving it. I got 50 cents a week for doing chores and I spent every dime on 45s. I bought this 45 as soon as I could skate down to the record store. LOL
This is the song that hooked me on Steely Dan back in the seventies.
My Old School is what did it for me, I’ve only listened to them within the last year (wasn’t alive in the seventies lol)
Haitian divorce 1975 did it for me.
same for me
@Queen_Of_Cups Yes check it out, you'll love it i'm sure.
Me, too!! This song did it for me.
There's something otherworldly in Donald Fagen's voice - it's like a unique musical instrument, all of it's own. And the music of Steely Dan has a depth and beauty, unequalled I think, in the entire pop/rock pantheon.
Absolutely! I agree on all descriptions!!!!! I will never have a day I would pass on one of their songs.
Right on!
I agree, and I always feel more elegant and sophisticated when I listen to them, loved them back then still like me them now😊- Amy
Completely agree.
Perfectly described. I so agree.

Oh I looked it up, the cousin turns him down saying maybe it's the skeevy look in his eyes. It's very funny.
Cynthia Johnson cousin?!?!?!
@@pbohearn :I must have misdirected this post. I was talking about Cousin Dupree.
@@cynthiajohnson9412 Or the dreary architecture of his soul.
This is the song that broke the band onto Australian radio back in late '74/75 I was 19/20. Been a super fan ever since.

Isn't that something

Check it out.
He is basically a pain in the ass, really.
@Hillary's emails to Lorne More like antiterrorism.
@@greenhometony really? How so?
Im not sure why, but steely Dan had that timeless feeling, almost Dejavu. like it always was.
Whoah that is such a great comment xoxo
I was praying for some Steely Dan! They were way before their time and yet they are timeless.
Absolutely spot on with that comment xoxo
@@sampuatisamuel9785 man they were smoother than greased glass, if you put that on it’s usually a good party
The piano is so pretty in this song
Well of course. Good taste😘
You can say that again!
It's really what makes this song.
Michael Omartian actually played the piano part, not Donald Fagin. So tasteful and perfect. Omartian's piano is my favorite part of this great song.
I didnt realize that!
This is one of the bands that got me interested in exploring jazz.
Steely Dan's Donald Fagen 'NEW FRONTIER" You will not be disappointed. I see people asking about it Just not everyday like me lol.Thank you.
Hope this works and he sees this...I post this song too...it's a killer track!
Yes! Please react Fagen's first solo album. Wonderful album.
@@buckshotjenkins lol I Have asked every day for 4 months to play new frontier but nothing ill keep trying.
i'm in love with 'kamakiriad'. not one bad song in the whole lot - NOT ONE! 🎶...at the teahouse on the tracks...🎶
Absolutely. Also 'I.G.Y.' & 'The Goodbye Look'.
That solo by Jeff "Skunk" Baxter: perfection!
I know. Love him on Old School too.
His touch...bends, vibrato and nuanced syncopation, the way it breathes and flows...man, what a master!
yes, son
Mega
Truly one of the great songs of all-time. Donald Fagen always had amazing mixing, vocal and rhythm arrangement skills.
Most ppl don't even what's it's about
Frampton, Fleetwood Mac AND Fagan in one day. Come on Jamel your killing me 🤣 Loving it all!
Steely Dan is my favorite band.

"They met while both were at Bard College..."
Yeah, it's in Annandale. You could probably take a Wolverine Train up there. But he's never going back to his old school.
Anytime you're doin' the Dan, you're winning in my book. Please do "Green Earrings"!
Such a funky tune
Especially the version on Live in America
@@jesmarluk6635 Absolutely killer album!!!!!
Green Earrings is killer.
This is the track I use to set up my sound system. So much dynamic range. Unbelievable studio work and the players...well you know. Jamel, get it done brother.
You just can't go wrong with Steely Dan. They're so good.
This is the song that got me going on Steely Dan! Soooooo smooth!
The Band, Peter Frampton and Steely Dan ... one of your best days ever
David Bowie: 'Jean Genie' , 'Ziggy Stardust' , 'Suffragette City '
Don't forget Changes
Imo
Bowie at his best was known as Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
"Rock And Roll Suicide" (if we're talking Ziggy album.)
Station to Station, Watch That Man, Starman
Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed
“Life on Mars?” And “Moonage Daydream” too!
Steely Dan...so fabulous!!!!
My uncle had a band in the late 70's and he would sing lead to all the Steely Dan songs. It was great.
Jamal_AKA_Jamal 65 yo geeza here... I've heard, watched & listened to this song since the begining... BUT to watch it with you again. It's a joy... thank YOU..!
This band is so tight! Always have loved them! Every song is so technically instrumentally tight it's insane!
Steely Dan had so many powerhouse musicians working in the studio. It seems like no matter who the drummer, lead guitar or piano/organ performer it seemed to magically meld together.
'The Royal Scam' would be timely. 'King of the World' tooo!! "Bad Sneakers', 'Black Friday'.....
Bad Sneakers and a pina colada my friend, Stompin' on the avenue by Radio City, with a transistor and a large sum of money to spend...."
An amazing album that was!
I found an original pressing of Katy lied in my dad's crates
You should go through Jamel's list of Steely Dan reactions. I believe he's done at least one of those songs. ✌🏽
@@aerynsunx yeah im a big steely Dan fan i have a few comps that I bought for myself but I struggle to find an actual album
my favorite Steely Dan song. i always go to this when I need to relax.
You have to do some of Fagen's solo work! Like "New Frontier" "IGY" and more off the Night Fly album!
Yes that is a must. 🎧🎶
I wish more reactors would check those out. There is so much great music on the later Steely Dan albums and Donald Fagen solo albums, yet they go ignored.

Another vote for Cousin Dupree
Love this track! Yes, yes, yes Cousin Dupree

I got on UA-cam to check on another group but you pop up & I'm like YES it's my guy! Don't stop the music!
Go listen to Horace Silver's "Song For My Father" to instantly hear where they drew inspiration for that intro.
Straight lifted! “Sampled.”
Thank you playing all of this music, I grew up with all of the music you are playing lately....thank you, keep grooving my brother.
