Steely Dan Is An American Jazz Rock Band Which Formed In 1972. The Band Was Formed By Donald Fagen Vocals Keyboards And Walter Becker Guitar Bass Who Met In 1967 While Both Attended Bard College In Annandale-On-Hudson New York And Began A Songwriting Partnership Shortly Thereafter. Their Music Is Characterized By Dark Witty Lyrical Narratives Obscure Lyrical Allusions And Complex Jazz-Influenced Instrumentation And Chord Sequences Overlying More Ordinary Popular Song Structures. Their Fastidious Standards In The Studio And Use Of World-Class Sessions Players Has Also Been A Hallmark Of Their Work. For This Special Credit Should Be Given To Their Long-Time Producer Gary Katz And Engineer Roger Nichols. The Band Was Originally A Six-Piece Consisting Of Fagen Becker David Palmer Vocals Jeff "Skunk" Baxter Guitar Denny Dias Guitar And Jim Hodder Drums But By 1975 Only Fagen And Becker Remained. The Band's History Can Be Divided Into Three Stages. In Its Original Conception The Group Was A Relatively Conventional Rock Band That Toured From 1972 To 1974 Releasing The Singles-Chart Successes 'Do It Again' 'Reelin' In The Years' 'My Old School' And 'Rikki Don't Lose That Number'. The Group's Name Was Derived From A Series Of Dildos In The 1959 Novel 'Naked Lunch' By The Avant-Garde Writer William S. Burroughs The Phrase First Used In The Lyrics Of An Early Pre-Steely Dan Fagen/Becker Song Soul Ram. In Its Second Stage 1975 - 1980 The Group Now Consisting Solely Of Fagen And Becker Became A Purely Studio-Based Act Their Album Releases Showing A Growing Obsession With Polished Production Values And Whose Output Became Increasingly Jazz-Orientated Culminating In The Highly Successful 'Aja' 1977 And 'Gaucho' 1980 . The Two Split In 1981 Following A Tumultuous Recording Process For The Latter Album And Personal Problems For Both Members. In The Eighties Fagen Released His Seminal Debut Album 'The Nightfly' And Took Time Away From The Music Industry Whilst Becker After Recovering From Drug Dependence Was In Frequent Work As A Producer. The Third Stage Came When Fagen And Becker Reunited In 1993 Followed By A World Tour Their First Touring Dates In 20 Years . In 2000 The Grammy-Award-Winning 'Two Against Nature' Was Released To Critical And Surprising Commercial Success. Its Successor Followed Swiftly 'Everything Must Go' Being Released In 2003. The Two Albums Show A More Relaxed Attitude To Production Less Morbid Lyrical Themes And An Upbeat Jazz Pop Sound But With The Characteristic Wit And Musical Complexity Of Their 20th Century Work Remaining. Walter Becker Passed Away On September 3 2017. This Was Followed By Legal Action Between Becker's Estate And Fagen Over Ownership Of Material. Fagen With Additional Bandmates Continues To Tour As Steely Dan. --

Jay Graydon Spoke About His Famous Guitar Solo In A 2014 Interview “Fortunately I Had No Problems On Sessions As To Nailing A Part But Know This—every First Call Studio Guitarist That Has Played Solos Has Been Replaced By Another Guitarist At Least Once. It's Just Part Of Being A Studio Musician.” Michael McDonald Can Be Heard Providing Multi-Tracked Backup Vocals In The Choruses And Keyboardist Paul Griffin Can Also Be Heard Talking And Improvising Background Vocals In The Final Chorus And Fadeout.

"Peg" is a song by American rock group Steely Dan, first released on the band's 1977 album Aja. The track was released as single in 1977 and reached number 11 on the US Billboard chart in 1978 and number eight on the Cash Box chart. With a chart run of 19 weeks, "Peg" is tied with "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" and "Hey Nineteen" for being their longest-running chart hit. In Canada, "Peg" spent three weeks at number seven during March 1978.
The song's guitar solo was attempted by seven top studio session guitarists‒including Robben Ford and recurring guitarist Larry Carlton‒before Jay Graydon's version became the "keeper". He worked on the song for about six hours before the band was satisfied.
Jay Graydon spoke about his famous guitar solo in a 2014 interview: “Fortunately, I had no problems on sessions as to nailing a part, but know this—every first call studio guitarist that has played solos has been replaced by another guitarist at least once. It's just part of being a studio musician.”
Michael McDonald can be heard providing multi-tracked backup vocals in the choruses, and keyboardist Paul Griffin can also be heard talking and improvising background vocals in the final chorus and fadeout.
The song could be a reference to Broadway star and one-time Hollywood actress Peg Entwistle, who became famous in 1932 by jumping to her death off the Hollywoodland Sign before her first film was ever released.
