American backup singer-turned-singer-songwriter, born on 21 March 1955. From 1979-2002, he was married to Dan Crewe, brother of Bob Crewe. In the mid-'70s, he found fame singing backup for artists including Gene Clark, Don Everly, Rod Stewart, Bryan Adams, Elton John, and for the film soundtrack Grease. He also released solo music beginning with 1978's 226177, which earned him a Grammy nomination for the single "Survivor". Label issues and family obligations would sideline his career, though he has continued to release albums and tour extensively.
