Today is Don Was’ Birthday

Today is Don Was’ Birthday

Don Edward Fagenson, aka Don Was, is a Detroit native, a creative musician, a Grammy-award winning producer, and now a label head.

He might not be as well known to the Joe Sixpack as Rick Rubin, Benny Blanco, or DJ Khalid, but unlike those successful men, he can play.

And like most very talented people, he cannot fit in a box. As you will soon see.

Don first came to the public spotlight in the 1980s with his band Was (Not Was) which released four records and had a funky hit single in 1988’s What Up, Dog? with “Walk The Dinosaur” – which was covered decades later by Queen Latifah for the third installment of the Ice Age animated films.
