Ruby Baby

Ruby Baby

Not strictly a Steely Dan Track this is from Donald Fagen's Nightfly album. It's as close as he gets to classic Steely tracks. I always thought Fagen wrote it but it is actually a cover they did of a Liber Stoller song. They know a good song when they see one.

My approach is to jump genres with the beats; there's Dubstep and Disco there! Some horns and a clavinet bassline later and - Voila! It was actually written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, not Fagen. It was originally recorded by The Drifters. Their version was released on a single by Atlantic Records in 195
