Arlyn Gale was a singer songwriter from the Midwest. His band mates were Omar Hakim on drums, who routinely plays with Sting, Miles Davis, Madonna, David Bowie & Dire Straits; Ivan Elias on Bass, who played with Scandal & The Lynch Mob; Alona Turel on keyboards, who played with Freddie Hubbard, and Steve Cavaretta on lead guitar, who has played on many, many sessions with all the best players for the last 30 years. ABC Records, the label Arlyn recorded for, was bought out by MCA and it snuffed out his career overnight.
