Happy Birthday to the legendary Chuck Rainey—the man whose bass lines groove deeper than a Steely Dan vinyl spinning on repeat! Your rhythms have been smoother than Donald Fagen's shades and funkier than Walter Becker’s solos. From "Peg" to "Kid Charlemagne," your iconic grooves continue to inspire generations of musicians, proving that great music never goes out of style.Here's wishing you another year filled with timeless jams, endless applause, and plenty more sessions where everyone in the studio says: “Just play it like Chuck would!” Keep laying down those unforgettable beats—because nobody does it better. Happy birthday!
