Greg Hawkes (Gregory A. Hawkes to be precise) was born on this day in 1952, in Fulton, Maryland, USA.
He's a multi-instrumentalist and is best known for his keyboard work as a founding member of The Cars.
He has also released two solo albums as well as having been affiliated with other outfits along the way. Not my preference, this super synth laden / new wave / pop stuff, (with one or two exceptions - Ultravox for e.g.) but it's all a learning curve I guess and new wave was a step along the way! One thing leads to another.
I don't think he wrote many tracks with The Cars, but this is one he did - with Ric Ocasek ...
