Blue-eyed soul singers

[jazzboCR]

Kenny Vance As varied a music career as you'll find--singer/songwriter/producer fro the '50's to date. Founding member of Jay and the Americans (opening act for both the Beatles and the Stones 1st US tours) and hired Becker & Fagen (Steely Dan) to be in his band --they also did horn and string arrangements. Music supervisor for the movies Animal House, Eddie and the Cruisers and American Hot Wax. Music director for SNL for 2 years. Started and led Kenny Vance and the Planotones (continues to this day). Has produced or performed with artists as varied as Don McLean, Yusef Lateef and Tracy Ullman. Helluva guy.

Eli "Paperboy" Reed Newer on the scene. Plays keys as well. Spent a year in Clarksdale, Mississippi, immersing himself in the Deep South juke joint culture. Looks to have a solid future.
