Steely Dan is an American music band composed of two songwriter members: Donald Fagen (vocals, keyboards) and Walter Becker (guitar, bass).

Originally formed as a conventional rock band, Steely Dan has evolved into a duo mixing genres as diverse as rock, jazz pop, Latin, blues, reggae, rhythm and blues, drawing at will from the cream of the studio musicians of the United States through a particularly sophisticated production and sound. >>>>>.
